Montreuil, Suburban commune in eastern Paris, France

Montreuil extends across 8.38 square kilometers of land and stands as the third most populated suburb of Paris, with 111,367 residents as of 2020.

The settlement originated from a small Merovingian monastery on a hill and received its first mention in a royal edict of 722 under the name Monasteriolum.

The municipality maintains numerous art galleries, studios, and street art murals, including significant works such as Paul Signac's painting at the town hall.

The commune connects to central Paris through multiple transportation options, including metro lines and bus services that operate throughout the metropolitan area.

During the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XVI, Montreuil developed specialized peach-growing techniques using wall structures to supply fruits to the royal court.
