Neauphle-le-Château

Neauphle-le-Château is a French commune in the Yvelines department, located about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southwest of Paris. The village centers around a historic castle that gave the settlement its name and overlooks the surrounding countryside and residential areas.

The commune takes its name from the Château de Neauphle, which has marked the village since medieval times. The castle underwent several rebuildings and expansions over the centuries as the surrounding settlement developed as a rural community.

The village is within reasonable distance from Paris and can be reached by public transport or car. A leisurely walk through the village streets offers the best way to explore the castle and the rural surroundings at your own pace.

The castle was briefly home to Jean-Paul Marat during the French Revolution, a historical connection that many visitors overlook. This episode links the quiet village to the major political upheavals of that era.
