Joinville-le-Pont (in French pronounced as /ʒwɛ̃vil lə pɔ̃/) is a commune in the southeastern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 9.4km (05.8miles) from the center of Paris.

History

The commune was created in 1791 under the name La Branche-du-Pont-de-Saint-Maur (literally "The Branch of Saint-Maur's Bridge") by detaching its territory from the commune of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. The commune was renamed Joinville-le-Pont (literally "Joinville the Bridge") on 29 August 1831. Under Louis-Philippe of France, the Redoute de Gravelle was built in the commune.
