Jouy-le-Moutier

Jouy-le-Moutier (French pronunciation: [ʒwi lə mutje] ⓘ) is a commune in the Val-d'Oise department, in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France.

Two letters dated 2 April 1250 from Renaud de Corbeil, bishop of Paris, authorised the parish of Jouy-le-Moutier to build a baptismal church.

The rich Benedictines of the abbey of Saint Martin-des-Champs built in the 12th near the Fontaine à Jouy a building called La Maison des Moines which was used as a cellar.

A viaduct crossing the Rue de la Vallée was built in 1912 carrying the CGB line from Maurecourt to Pontoise following the River Oise valley.

The Théâtre Saint-Vincent was built in 1811 and restored by les Beaux Arts de Paris in 1992 and has 120 seats.

This superb Italian baroque has its walls covered in paintings highly colourful, an old balcony and oak flooring.
