The municipality of Verneuil-sur-Seine (15,524 inhabitants in 2007; 943 ha) is located on river Seine.
The name of Verneuil comes from the Gaul word verno, "an alder".
There are more than 230 French toponyms based on verno. The
Latin name of the alder, alnus, gave the French modern word
aulne but only 57 toponyms, all to be found in the north of
the country.
Verneuil is known for its watersports and recreation park,
built around ponds made by backwaters of the Seine.
