Montreuil, town, Seine-Saint-Denis département, Île-de-France région. It is an eastern industrial suburb of Paris situated on a plateau 400 feet (120 metres) high. Located 1 mile (1.6 km) from the city limits of the capital, it is connected to Paris by the Métro (subway). There has been a marked decline in industrial activity, partly compensated by the growth of office-based employment. Peach trees, for which the locality was once famous, still grow there. In the centre of the old town, the church of Saint-Pierre–Saint-Paul has a 12th-century choir. A wooded park on the edge of the plateau contains a museum of history. Pop. (1999) 90,674; (2014 est.) 104,748.
