How to Get to Montmorency – France

Montmorency is a suburb located north of Paris, France. It is located 15.3 kilometers from downtown Paris and is one of the more wealthy suburbs in the city. It was the ancestral home of the Montmorency Family, from which the town was named after, one of the most distinguished French noble families. It was also the home of the great French writer Jean-Jacques Rosseau and where he penned three of his more notable works, the Emile, Contrat Social, and Nouvelle Eloise. In addition, the 16th century Church of St. Martin, with its beautiful Renaissance windows, is worth a visit.
