Geography
The town of Jouars-Pontchartrain is located 35 km west of Paris, 18 km west of Versailles and 22 km from Rambouillet, on a buttress which delimits the western end of the plain of Versailles and at the foot from which begins the plain of Montfort-l'Amaury. Its territory is irrigated by the Mauldre whose south-north oriented course follows the eastern limit of the town and receives in the park of the Château de Pontchartrain the Élancourt brook, a diversion of which feeds its pond. This brook, oriented east-west, is enlarged a little upstream by the Maurepas brook which joins it at Chennevières.
Hamlets of the municipality
The commune comprises seven hamlets:[3][4]
- Pontchartrain, in the north of the municipal territory, heart of the municipality, where are located, around the town hall, the Saint-Lin church and the Saint-Louis hospital, the majority of local shops and most of housing.
- Chennevières, south-east of Pontchartrain and adjoining it. It is a residential and old hamlet, formerly a humid places where the culture of hemp prospered.
- La Richarderie, to the east of Chennevières and adjoining it, is a semi-residential, semi-rural hamlet.
- Jouars, away to the south of Pontchartrain, has a church and has only a few dwellings and rural farms.
- Ergal, in the far east and on the edge of the municipal territory is adjoining the hamlet of Launay in the municipality of Élancourt, half-residential, half-rural.
