Montainville (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃tɛ̃vil]) is a commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France.

In Montainville, we can find mainly stone houses and rural residences, built notably in the 19th century.

From the 3rd to the 1st century BC, Montainville was in the territory of the Gallic tribe of Carnutes which extended between the Loire and Seine rivers, with two main cities, Autriacum (Chartres) and Genabum (Orléans).

Under the seigneury of the Morainvillier, the old castle is turned into a manor house (current Ferme du fort).

Jean de Morainvillier built an hotel of Château brilliant (Châteaubriant) for his son-in-law, at the location of the current town hall.

His successor Louis XIV neglects this tradition and establishes the royal falconry in Montainville.

Due to this proximity of Versailles, Montainville inhabitants live in a prosperous period with a bakery, 2 mills, several country inn, restaurants, and other shops in the village.

[4] Before the French Revolution, the lordship of Montainville is in the hands of the family established nearby in the Castle of Wideville.

The last representant of the lords of Montainville, Anne-Julie Françoise de Crussol d'Uzès, will escape the troubles of the Revolution because she was liked by the population.

One of the two bells of the church of Montainville (named Saint-Lubin) was melted during the Revolution and maybe transformed into a cannon.

The famous French actor and singer Bourvil (André Raimbourg) lived in Montainville with his family from 1955 to his death in 1970.
