Orgeval, Yvelines

Abbecourt Abbey (French: Abbaye d'Abbecourt; Abbaye Notre-Dame d'Abbecourt; Latin: Beata Maria de Alba Curia) is a former Premonstratensian monastery in Orgeval, Yvelines, France. Originally a small oratory, the abbey was founded, either in 1142 or 1180, by Gasun, seigneur of Poissy. It was a daughter house of Marcheroux Abbey, now in Oise. The church was consecrated in 1191. The buildings were damaged in 1340, in the Hundred Years' War, and destroyed by the English between 1420 and 1437. Reconstruction began at the end of the 17th century, during the abbacy of Jean Penillon. In the early 18th century a pond on the site was discovered to have supposedly health-giving mineral properties and taking its waters became an attraction for the court of Louis XV, the royal Château of Saint-Germain-en-Laye being nearby.In about 1740 the former almoner of Louis XV, the Abbé Louis Grisard, replaced the guest accommodation, besides adding a gallery to the cloister and making alterations to the principal building and the dormitory. In 1741, the architect Louis François Herbet drew up plans for a new church, construction of which was completed by the architect Claude-Louis d'Aviler from 1743 to 1749. In the 1780s the dormitory was rebuilt by Jean-François Raimbert. The monastery was suppressed in the French Revolution, when the church was destroyed. The site was used as a source of stone, and in 1827 all the remaining buildings were demolished. Only a few ruins remain and the toponym "Allée d'Abbecourt".

Campus PSG, officially known as the Campus Paris Saint-Germain, is the training ground of Paris Saint-Germain Football Club. Located in Poissy, it replaced the Camp des Loges, the club's historical training facility in nearby Saint-Germain-en-Laye.Owned and financed by the club, the venue will bring together PSG's football (male and female), handball and judo teams, as well as the football and handball academies. Each division will have its own dedicated facilities. The Campus PSG will have its own stadium, which will complement PSG's home ground of the Parc des Princes. With a total capacity of 5,000, including over 3,000 seats, the arena will be the largest football stadium in the Yvelines department. It will host matches for PSG's youth and female sides in official competitions such as the UEFA Youth League and the UEFA Women's Champions League.Twenty-five minutes away from the Parc des Princes and fifteen minutes from the Camp des Loges, the 74-hectare site is part of PSG's global strategy to become one of the best-performing multi-sport clubs in the world. Construction began in February 2020 and is expected to end in 2024. The club's investment is reported to be in the region of €350m. PSG entrusted the project to French architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and his architectural firm Wilmotte & Associés, known for designing the Allianz Riviera and the Kaliningrad Stadium.

Morainvilliers is one of the French cities with the highest per capita tax income and is characterised by particularly high property prices.

The Island of Platais, or Island of Médan, is an island of the River Seine in France 30 kilometers downstream from Paris. It is approximately 1.7 kilometers long and located in the Yvelines department between Villennes-sur-Seine and Médan on the left bank, and Triel-sur-Seine on the right bank. It is positioned downstream from the island of Hernière from which it is separated by a narrow channel. It is administratively shared between the municipalities of Villennes-sur-Seine, Médan and Triel-sur-Seine. The island is not connected to the river banks except by ferries.In 1880, the author Émile Zola bought a little Norwegian-style chalet adjacent to the island (today it is a museum), and frequently invited his artist friends Cézanne, Manet, and Pissarro to find inspiration in the dappled island light. A stretch of the island known as "Villennes Beach" was a popular seasonal escape for Parisians who could reach it by boat trip downstream from Paris. The island's susceptibility to flooding has always been its biggest setback for any residential or commercial development. The Seine Flood Control Plan (PPRI) prohibits any construction along the river.

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

The Désert de Retz is a garden on the edge of the forêt de Marly in the commune of Chambourcy, in north-central France. It was created at the end of the 18th century by the aristocrat François Racine de Monville on his 40-hectare (99-acre) estate. The architect Boullée was involved in the creation of both Monville's town houses; it is less likely he had much do with the Désert de Retz, although Monville did, for a while, engage him as assistant to the architect Francois Barbier until 1780. Monville probably designed many of the features and structures himself, or had a strong supervisory role.The garden included between 17 and 20 structures, of which ten still survive, mostly referring to classical antiquity. Those buildings included a summer house (the "colonne brisée", or ruined column), in the form of the base of a shattered column from an imaginary gigantic temple, an ice house in the form of an Egyptian pyramid, an obelisk, a colonnaded temple dedicated to Pan, an open-air theatre, a ruined Gothic Chapel and a Chinese pavilion. This was one of a number of landscape gardens created in France at the time influenced by English examples. Its style could be described as Anglo-Chinois, or French landscape garden.
