Thiais is a commune in the southern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 10.3 km. (6.4 miles) from the center of Paris.

Name

The name Thiais comes form Medieval Latin "Theodasium" or "Theodaxium", meaning "estate of Theodasius", a Gallo-Roman landowner.

Transport

Thiais is served by Pont de Rungis – Aéroport d'Orly station on Paris RER line C.

Thiais is also served by Choisy-le-Roi station on Paris RER line C. This station, although administratively located on the territory of Choisy-le-Roi, lies closer to the town center of Thiais than Pont de Rungis – Aéroport d'Orly station does, and is thus used by people in Thiais.
