Geography

Situation

The commune is located at approximately 12 km in the south-south-west of Versailles and at 23 km in the North-East of Rambouillet.

It is bordering on Montigny-le-Bretonneux, Neighbors-the-Bretonneux and Guyancourt in north, of Châteaufort to the east, Milon-the-Vault and Saint-Rémy-the-Chevreuse in the south and of Saint-Lambert and Trappes in the west.

It is included at the same time in the community of agglomeration of Saint-Quentin-in-Yvelines (old new Ville) and in the Regional natural park of the high valley of Chevreuse.

The commune is bordered in north by wood of Saint-Beno4it cheese and in the south by the forest of the Madeleine and the national forest of Port-Royal. The village and the majority of the hamlets are located on a plate at 160 m of altitude framed by the steepsided valleys of the Rhodon at the south and the Mérantaise at north, two small rivers affluents of the Yvette.

The plate of Magny-the-Hamlets is an old marshy plate, partly drained during the alteration work of the Château of Versailles at the 17th century, and little by little cleared in the following centuries. It remains today only little of traces of this past: the landscape is dominated by vast cereal fields, framed by the forests which cover the major part of the valleys of Mérantaise and Rhodon. To the east, the urbanization progresses little by little.

Divisions of the commune

In addition to the village (Magny-Village), historical heart of the commune, the commune includes/understands six today Hameau X: the Wood of the Rocks, Buloyer, Romainville, Brouessy, Villeneuve, and Gomberville. The fusion of several old hamlets following an important policy of urbanization around the old hamlet of Cressely created the current center of gravity of the commune and comprises several districts: the district of the Town hall (recent district which binds little by little Cressely and Gomberville), the Cross with the Boxwood, the Cressely Old man, the Lacoste Vault and the Bush. Among many the localities of the commune, one can in particular quote the Cross of Wood, the Pink Field, Mérantais, Port-Royal and the 25 Arpents.

The principal trade are today in the districts of the Bush and , Town hall Cressely; many companies are installed in the parks of activity of Gomberville, of the Wood of the Rocks, Magny-Mérantais and Young Wood.

Magny-village

Historical heart of the commune, it is made up in great majority of stone-built houses Meulière, typical of the area. Structured around the Saint-Germain church, it is primarily directed towards the valley of Mérantaise, the plate of Magny having been until the 17th primarily marshy century.

Cressely

It is the current center of the commune. Each one of its districts has its particular tonality. The trade and services are distributed primarily at the edge of the road of Versailles (secondary road 938), around the town hall (place Pierre Bérégovoy) and in the middle of the district of the Bush (place of the March 19th, 1962).

District of the Town hall

This district is composed of several allotments (houses, houses of city, buildings) recent (of the Années 1990 with today) and comprises a commercial zone and services around the town hall.

Residential district, the Cross with the Boxwood merges with the district of Beauplan with Saint-Rémy-the-Chevreuse, on the other side of the way of the Vault. It is separated from the district of the town hall by the road of Port-Royal of the Fields.

the Cressely Old man and the Vault Lacoste

These districts were built mainly after the Second world war. Composed mainly of modest particular houses in the center of small gardens, they keep a particular charm inherited the time when they were the districts of the second home of Paris iens in the search of a vacation resort at the same time within a framework peaceful and natural and close to Paris.

the Bush

District created during the Years 1970, composed primarily of joint houses and buildings of less than four stages, mainly HLM. It comprises a commercial zone in its center, around the place of March 19th, 1962.

Buloyer, Romainville, Brouessy and Villeneuve

These 4 hamlets are traversed of west in is by the road of Port-Royal, which curve on the cereal plate of Magny. Structured around large farms in Grinding, they did not extend yet much beyond their historical limits and thus keep an authentic character.

Gomberville

This hamlet extended primarily thanks to a Zone from activity, which accommodates many SME. The historical hamlet (in Grinding, with in particular a farm Seedbed) is thus clearly separated from its recent extensions. The progression of the district of the town hall and the establishment of new companies in the zone of activity reduce little by little the separation of Gomberville of the current heart of the commune.

History

August 1st The name of “Magny” comes from the Latin magnus , large , name which would come from wide from the commune (up to 12 km of length and 3 km of width), which covers the near total of the plate as well as part of the valley of Mérantaise. The commune was called “Magny-l' Essart” until in 1788, date on which it took its current name.

The commune is especially marked by the history of the abbey of Port-Royal-of-Fields (in the extreme west of the communal territory) which accommodated nuns cistercian born and was a high-place of the Jansénisme until in 1709, date of the expulsion of the nuns by Louis XIV.

Abbey of Port-Royal

See also: Port-Royal-of-Fields

The commune still presents some ruins of the Abbaye of Port-Royal. At the end of the plain of Trap doors, in a withdrawn small valley named Borroy , which, in Celtic, meant undergrowth, and which one makes Port-King , then Port-Royal , Eudes de Sully, in 1204, had joined together a community of nuns, equipped by the most powerful lords with time and directed in 1316 by Béatrix de Dreux, princess of the royal house; the Cloître had been abandoned during the long civil wars, and establishment, transferred to Paris, street Saint-Jacob, when, in 1630, the abbess Angélique Arnaud obtained that the community was withdrawn from the order of Cîteaux and was subject to a new rule whose base was the perpetual worship of the Blessed Sacrament.

The Mysticism of the news Doctrines, the deserved reputation of the founder attracted many followers to him; the convent of Paris which cannot contain them, one remembered the old cloister of the fields; several solitary piles, almost all parents or admirors of the mother Angélique Arnaud had been withdrawn there, to live there as Christian philosophers in the study and the meditation; they yielded the buildings of the old monastery, which were repaired, to the holy colony of the street Saint-Jacob; but they did not move away; the science and the talent of these men raised the piety and the virtue of the nuns; this glare became to them disastrous: doctrines of Jansénius, which they defended, were attacked and condemned by the pope Clément XI. Louis XIV, guided by the hostile competitions, exaggerated, in the execution, the rigors of the sentence: the establishment was shaven until in its bases, and persecution added a new gloss to famous of Port-Royal.

There does not remain any more abbey but the pond from which the Mérantaise leaves, small brook which passes to Mérantais and the bottom of Châteaufort before being thrown in the Yvette; the mill, the dovecote, part of the surrounding walls and turrets, cellars of the small palace that the Duchesse of Longueville had made there build, the fountain of Angélique Arnaud, and foundations of the walls of the church with the base of the pillars and the columns. In a small house (19th) which occupies the site of the bedside of the church, one piously joined together all plans, engravings of the old abbey, and remains of tombs.

Site of origin, only remain upright the farm (Barns of Port-Royal), attached a posteriori (1709) and the building of the Small Schools (17th century), accessible since 1962 the national museum of the Barns of Port-Royal.

The Glorious Thirty will see a first development of the commune, where are established many second home of Paris iens, which constitute nearly 30% of the dwellings in 1968. The development of the Parisian suburbs and the entry in the new Ville of Saint-Quentin-in-Yvelines will then make very quickly grow the number of inhabitants of the commune, growth which will be however slowed down by the entry in the Regional natural park of the high valley of Chevreuse (which fixes quotas maximum of construction) in 1985.

Since its entry in the new City of Saint-Quentin-in-Yvelines in 1973, Magny strongly urbanized, in particular in the east of the plate; the hamlets, initially articulated around firm-manors, were also extended by some allotments. Since 1985, Magny-the-Hamlets belongs to the Regional natural park of the high valley of Chevreuse. The strong real pressure thus could be partly contained, the participation in the park being conditioned with a certain number of engagements limiting the progression of the urbanization. The commune was thus the only one in France to form part at the same time of a new Ville and a Natural park, intercommunalities with the sometimes opposite goals.
