Vauréal is a commune in the north-western suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 30.6 km (19 miles) from the center of Paris, in the "new town" of Cergy-Pontoise, created in the 1960s.
French chocolate maker Henri Menier (1853–1913) had a château in Vauréal and named the 70 metres high Vauréal Falls on Anticosti Island in Quebec province of Canada after the town.
