Anecdote
Montigny-lès-Cormeilles, whose name is attested as early as 862, was given by Charlemagne to the abbey of Saint-Denis. Its church of Saint-Martin, completed in 1898 to plans by Marcel Lambert, kept an octagonal 18th-century bell tower. The painter Camille Corot depicted the Corot inn, on the church square, and Claude Lelouch's film « Le Bon et les Méchants » was shot there in 1976. Since 1939 the town hall has occupied the Plisson manor, a late-19th-century villa.
