Jouy-en-Josas, Administrative commune in Yvelines, France.
Located 17 kilometers southwest of Paris, Jouy-en-Josas extends along both banks of the Bièvre River in the Île-de-France region.
The settlement, known as Gaugiacum in Roman times, transformed into a major textile manufacturing center when Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf established his factory in 1759.
The Musée de la Toile de Jouy preserves the legacy of printed cotton fabrics that influenced French decorative arts during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Two stations on the RER Line C, Vauboyen and Jouy-en-Josas, connect the commune to central Paris and the Palace of Versailles within 30 minutes.
The commune maintains the Château de l'Églantine, which houses an extensive collection of historical textile prints and manufacturing equipment from the region.
