Montreuil is a commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located seven kilometers from the center of Paris. It is one of the most densely populated municipalities in Europe. The name Montreuil was recorded for the first time in a royal edition of 722 as Monasteriolum, meaning little monastery in Medieval Latin.
