In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “La lucarne d'Evry” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 4434 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “La lucarne d'Evry” meme mean?

The meme mocks how an ordinary object or place can be turned into an icon purely through social media momentum, without any real merit behind it. People bring it up when a tiny, unremarkable detail suddenly goes viral, proving that almost anything can blow up online. It also works as an affectionate nod to the Pyramides neighborhood and its well-known local internet folklore among people from the Paris region.

Where does the “La lucarne d'Evry” meme come from?

The Évry skylight is the name given to a small window of a trash room located at 24 rue Jules-Vallès, a building in the Pyramides neighborhood, a large housing estate in Évry-Courcouronnes, in the Essonne department. This modest window, with nothing architecturally special about it, eventually became, through repeated posts and shares on social media, a recognizable image tied to the neighborhood, photographed and commented on by internet users amused to see an ordinary skylight turned into a local symbol. The gap between how banal the object is and the online fame it earned explains most of its lasting success.
