About
Antony is a residential suburb south of Paris, in France. It is the kind of place people choose for its calm streets and day-to-day comfort rather than for a single landmark, and a visit here shows a quieter side of the Paris region.
What the town offers
- Tree-lined streets and well-kept residential areas
- Local markets where neighbours do their everyday shopping
- Preserved older architecture alongside newer homes
- Parks, including the well-known Parc de Sceaux nearby
The surrounding parkland makes Antony a good base for a slower day. Walks under the trees and time spent in green space are a pleasant contrast to the busier centre of the capital.
Getting there and back
Antony has direct RER connections to central Paris, so a day in the city is easy to combine with a stay here. Many visitors find this the best of both worlds: suburban tranquillity by night and the museums, cafés and streets of Paris within reach by day.
If you want a relaxed French town a short train ride from the capital, with markets, parks and a settled, comfortable atmosphere, Antony is worth considering.
