The population of Taverny tripled between 1962 and 2014, reaching 26,514 residents, reflecting the suburban development patterns of the Paris metropolitan region.
Two railway stations offer regular connections to Paris throughout the day, making it easy to reach the center. The A15 and A115 highways provide convenient road access for those driving from surrounding areas.
A French air force base supporting the nuclear deterrent sits hidden beneath the Montmorency forest, largely unknown to the public. This secret facility has quietly shaped the area's development over decades.
