Montreuil, Suburban commune in eastern Paris, France
Montreuil is a commune in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, located in the eastern metropolitan area of Paris and part of the Métropole du Grand Paris. It covers roughly eight square kilometers and ranks among the most populated suburbs of the French capital.
A Merovingian monastery on a hill marks the origin of the settlement, first recorded in royal documents dated 722. The name Monasteriolum evolved gradually over the centuries into its present form.
The town hall features a Paul Signac painting displayed in the marriage room, visible during public opening hours or official events. Art studios and galleries across the area welcome visitors especially during springtime open-door events when local artists share their workspaces.
Several metro lines link the commune to central Paris, making it easy for visitors to reach from different neighborhoods. Buses supplement the network and serve areas further from metro stations.
Between the 17th and 19th centuries, special wall constructions helped cultivate peaches in protected microclimates for delivery to the royal court. Remnants of these structures still appear along some streets today.
