[1] The parish of Montreuil was probably already formed in the Merovingian period as shown by the presence of a small monastery (Latin: monasteriolum)[1] on a hill that overlooked Vincennes.

[1] In the 8th century, a royal decree testified the presence of a church on the site on the feast day of Sts.

[2] At this time, Louis IX and his mother Blanche of Castile frequently attended religious services there.

[1] In the 16th century, the royal family moved to the Palace of Fontainebleau and the Château de Saint-Germain and no longer attended the church of Montreuil regularly.

[1] However, it made donations for St. Peter and St. Paul until Notre-Dame de la Pissote became a parish church in Vincennes in the mid-17th century.

The chevet wall is adorned with two wooden statues of Saints Peter and Paul topped by four bas-reliefs showing the Four Evangelists.
