The "centre-ville" provides a reasonable number of shops from bakeries to banks. An active morning market takes place on Fridays and Sundays.
There are several parks, some situated on the islands in the Seine. The commune is home to the 13th century chapel of St Leonard, situated near the banks of the Seine.
In good traffic conditions, you can reach the centre of Paris in 20 minutes from Croissy; in daily commuting conditions it will take one hour.
