Maule

Maule spans 17.30 square kilometers of varied terrain in the Île-de-France region, with elevations ranging from valley floor to 178 meters above sea level, crossed by the Mauldre river and featuring rural landscapes that comprise over 80% of its territory.

Founded during Gallo-Roman times by the Carnutes tribe, Maule evolved from a medieval barony held by the Le Riche family into a fortified town that suffered English occupation during the Hundred Years' War before experiencing economic revival through its market rights granted by François I in 1528.

The commune preserves remarkable architectural heritage including the 11th-12th century Saint-Nicolas church with its Renaissance bell tower from 1547, the Château d'Agnou, and several classified historical monuments that reflect centuries of French regional development.

Maule station provides regular Transilien Line N service to Paris-Montparnasse, while departmental road D191 connects the commune to major highways including the A13, and local bus lines serve neighboring communities in the Yvelines department.

Actor Louis de Funès resided in Maule, and the commune has served as a filming location for numerous French cinema and television productions between 1954 and 1997, showcasing its diverse landscapes and historical architecture to national audiences.
