The 10th constituency of Essonne was one of six additional seats created in 1988 to address the rising population in the department. It is a dense urban seat on the southern edge of the Paris urban area around 15 miles (24 km) from the city centre.
The seat consistently supported the Socialist Party at every election from its creation in 1988 until 2017, when it was won by the centrist LREM party. It swung back left in 2022, when it was gained by the left-wing LFI party.
