Massy, Transport hub in Essonne, France

Massy stretches across 9.4 square kilometers of land in the southern suburbs of Paris, featuring residential neighborhoods and commercial districts.

The settlement originated from a Gallo-Roman villa owned by Matius in the third century and developed into a barony by the tenth century.

The commune maintains multiple educational facilities with sixteen preschools, twelve elementary schools, and several high schools serving the local population.

Two major train stations, Massy-Palaiseau and Massy TGV, connect the area to Paris and other French regions through RER lines B and C.

Nicolas Appert, who revolutionized food preservation by inventing the canning process, conducted his experiments in Massy during the early 1800s.
