Thiais

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Val-de-Marne

Only 7 kilometers from Paris, Thiais draws the features of its agglomeration in the Val-de-Marne. Depending on the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Thiais acquired its independence in 1250. The village, rather modest, welcomed nevertheless several famous celebrities of the time like Theophraste Renaudot, creator of the Gazette, Charles Collé and the playwright Jean-François Marmontel. The village will quickly take the direction of a residential town under the coat of arms of the Ormesson family. Moreover, from the beginning of the nineteenth century, the professors of the Ecole Polytechnique take the habit of meeting in one of the empire pavilions of the city. Possessing a remarkable historical heritage, the city has preserved it over the centuries and continues to boast of it still today.

Things to see and do

Most of the buildings evoked to traverse the rich heritage of Thiais are classified to the Historic Monuments or to the supplementary inventory of the Historic Monuments. It is therefore in a city with many riches patrimonial and architectural that the walk begins now. And one of the historical landmarks of Thiais is undoubtedly the Saint-Leu-Saint-Gilles church dating from the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has Romanesque and Renaissance sections and prides itself on sheltering remarkable works of art. Right next door is the communal laundry fountain, the ancestral curiosity of the place. The avenue of Versailles dating from the 15th century and its perfect alignment is obviously worth the detour. The Saint-Cœur-de-Marie convent of the Sisters of the congregation of Saint-Joseph de Cluny was built in the 19th century in the place of the feudal castle. The streets are lined with houses of architect, Empire pavilion and country houses of another time. The Paris cemetery of Thiais used to accommodate those condemned to death. Worker gardens can also be visited in any season. Another vestige still used today is the monastery of the Annonciade, which houses a community of sisters of the same order since 1926. Continuing the walk through the streets of Thiais you can admire the house of the manufacturer Gilardoni which dates from 1896.

Thiais has a municipal swimming pool where many cultural and sporting teachings are provided.
