Thiais, Southern suburban commune in Val-de-Marne, France

Thiais is a commune located south of Paris in Val-de-Marne, stretching across a residential area that is easily reached from the city. The town center lies approximately 10 kilometers south of the capital and is connected to Paris through several transportation links.

The name of the commune comes from medieval times and traces back to a Roman landowner after whom the settlement was named. These roots show how long human settlement in this area south of Paris has existed.

The cemetery here is one of the largest in the region and serves as a quiet place where graves of various notable cultural figures can be found. Visitors walking through can encounter the resting places of writers and artists whose work has been remembered over time.

Visitors reach the town best by bus or RER train, which connects it to Paris and has several stations in the area. The town is flat and easy to explore on foot, and there are various shops and local facilities in and around the center.

The town has several schools, including a secondary school, that provide education to young people from the area. These facilities shape community life and reflect its character as an established residential place.
