Fontenay-aux-Roses, Residential commune in Hauts-de-Seine, France

Located 8.6 kilometers from central Paris, Fontenay-aux-Roses spans 2.5 square kilometers with elevations ranging from 58 to 164 meters above sea level.

The settlement evolved from a hamlet of Bagneux in the 13th century, receiving its current name in the 17th century when it gained independence.

The house of writer Paul Scarron stands as a testament to three centuries of architecture, connecting the town to Madame de Maintenon's legacy.

The Fontenay-aux-Roses station on RER line B and Tram line 6 provides direct connections to Paris and surrounding suburban areas.

The commune housed France's first nuclear reactor, Zoé, and the initial French tokamak fusion experiment at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique.
