Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 24.2 km. (15 miles) from the center of Paris.
The commune takes its name from the rambling château of Conflans, where the archbishop of Paris commissioned André Le Nôtre to lay out extensive gardens descending in deep terraces towards the Seine. Nothing remains of the château or the gardens save a monumental stair, descending in matched flights either side of a central niche, which remains isolated at the end of a cul-de-sac, backed by a large block of modern flats. Saint-Honorine refers to the fact that a church dedicated to Saint Honorina was built outside of the original city walls during the Middle Ages.[1]
Conflans-Sainte-Honorine is served by Conflans-Sainte-Honorine station on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare suburban rail line.
It is also served by Conflans – Fin d'Oise station which is an interchange station on Paris RER line A and on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare suburban rail line.
