Geography
The commune of the Bonnières-on-Seine is in the North-West of Yvelines, with approximately fifteen kilometers in the west of Mantes-the-Pretty and with eleven kilometers in the south-east of Vernon (the Eure). The city is built in edge of the the Seine, on left bank of the river and in the concavity of a Méandre.The communes bordering are Freneuse in the North-East, Rolleboise in the east, the Rosny-on-Seine in south-east, Villeneuve-in-Chevrie in south-west, Jeufosse in the west and, in north, Bennecourt on Right Bank of the Seine.
The communal territory, relatively not very wide (near to the average yvelinoise of 712 hectares) extends on approximately five kilometers in the North-South direction. It includes/understands in north a low part, between 20 and 30 meters of altitude, very urbanized, and towards the south, includes part of the plate of the Mantois. It is delimited in the east by a boxed ravine, the valley Guyon, dug by a tributary brook of the Seine.
This territory remained rural to 75%, with a strong proportion, approximately 50%, timbered surfaces, mainly in the south-eastern part of the territory, the prolongation of the regional forest of Rosny. Built urban space accounts for 18% of the total surface area and concentrates in the north of the territory, in edge of the Seine. The zones of economic activities cover 24 hectares, mainly along the river.
The road communications are primarily assured by the Trunk road 13 Paris-Caen-Cherbourg, which crosses the commune in the East-West direction, which is disconnected in western limit of the commune, secondary road 915 (ex- Trunk road 15) for Rouen.
