Chambourcy, Administrative division in Yvelines department, France.

Located 25 kilometers from Paris, Chambourcy features urbanized areas in the north and forested regions in the south, including the Marly forest.

The area's name evolved from Latin 'campus bruacii', meaning field of brushlands, with a 12th-century church dedicated to Saint Clothilde containing the saint's relics.

The Desert de Retz, established in 1789, represents garden architecture with structures built on the former Saint-Jacques-de-Retz village site.

The commune connects to Paris through bus lines and nearby RER stations, with shopping centers along the N13 route providing retail services.

In 1934, the ALB dairy factory established operations in Chambourcy, introducing the 'petit Chambourcy' product line in 1948.
