Vauréal is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 30.6 km from the center of Paris, in the "new town" of Cergy-Pontoise, created in the 1960s. French chocolate maker Henri Menier had a château in Vauréal and named the 70-metre-high Vauréal Falls on Anticosti Island in Quebec province of Canada after the town.
