Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche

Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche stretches across 11.74 square kilometers of land, situated 25 kilometers west of Paris with an average elevation of 136 meters.

The commune's name originates from Saint Nonne, a 9th-century co-bishop who helped restore Christianity after Norman invasions, and La Bretesche, a wooden fortress near Marly Forest.

The local Church of Saint Nom evolved from a tithe barn through multiple expansions between the 12th and 20th centuries, reflecting architectural changes across generations.

The Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche-Forêt de Marly station connects residents to Paris through Transilien trains and Line 13 Express of the Île-de-France tramway network.

The Ferme de Saint-Nom, established in 1228, functioned as a model farm managed by Cistercian monks before becoming public property during the French Revolution.
