Meulan-en-Yvelines (French pronunciation: [mølɑ̃ ɑ̃.n‿ivlin], before 2010: Meulan)[3] is a commune in the Yvelines department in the Île-de-France region in north-central France. It hosted part of the sailing events for the 1900 Summer Olympics held in neighbouring Paris, and would do so again 24 years later.

## History

[edit]

In 1435, as a part of the Hundred Years' War, Ambroise de Loré and Jean de Dunois defeated the English nearby.[4]

Meulan hosted the first regatta in the sailing event at the 1900 Summer Olympics.
