Isle-Adam

Isle-Adam is a city francilienne northern center of the Val-d'Oise located on left bank of the Oise at twenty-five kilometers as the crow flies at the north-north-west of the doors of Paris, ten in north east Pontoise and thirty-five in the south Beauvais. It forms with Parmain, common neighbor of Right Bank of Oise, a small agglomeration of approximately: 16000 inhabitants. Its inhabitants is called Adamois and Adamoises.

Placed between the valley of Oise in the west and, at the three other cardinal points, the national forest éponyme, the city was the Fief then the vacation resort of some of the more big families of the French Noblesse before becoming at the 19th century a middle-class city attracting the inhabitants of Paris and many artists. It is today a prosperous chief town of canton in the extreme north of the urban surface of Paris, to the doors of the Regional natural park of French Vexin, Pays of France and Picardy.

Geography

General information

Common bordering

The communal territory faces, of north in the south along Oise, the vexinoises communes of Champagne-on-Oise, Parmain, Valmondois and Butry-on-Oise. The communes bordering on the terrestrial delimitations of Isle-Adam, as for them, are located around the forest. It is about Mours, Presles, Nerville-the-Forest, Villiers-Adam and Mériel.

Surface and population density

The territory of the commune is among vastest of the communes of the Val-d'Oise, comparable with that of Asnières-on-Oise and, behind, in particular, that of the vexinoises communes of Arronville and Chars. It occupies 1494 hectares, is 14,94 km ², which is appreciably higher than the departmental average (673 hectares, is 6,73 km ²). In spite of its relatively high population which locates it between Arnouville-lès-Gonesse and Fosses (: 11163 inhabitants with Isle-Adam in 1999 for: 6205 of average by commune in the department and: 3999 in the District of Pontoise), the density of 756 inhabitants to the km ² is lower than the average of the Val-d'Oise (887 inhabitants with the km ²) of the fact, on the one hand, of the important surface of the commune and, on the other hand, the portion of this surface occupied by the forest. Within his canton, in terms of population, Isle-Adam is the most populated commune and accounts for 43% of the population. In terms of surface, it recovers 27% of them.

Natural topography, hydrography and risks

The unevenness between the point low of the commune at the edge of Oise (23 m) and the highest point in the forest (117 m) is of 94 meters. The city is presented as a plan inclined in direction of the Oise whose top is at the east in the main forest.

Oise borders the commune on its limits north and west. Three islands belong to the communal territory: the island of the Priory, the island of the Mob and the island of Derivation, on the level of which are located lock and stopping.

Three small tributary brooks of Oise also cross the communal territory: it is about the Ru of wood in the north of the shopping mall the Large Valley , the Ru of Vivray at the southern exit of the commune, before the hamlet of Stors, and the Ru of the Old man Moutiers more in the south still, beyond the Château of Stors. It should be noted that no river crosses the national forest.

Several ponds and water levels meet on the communal territory. Particularly to note the pond of the Three Sources in the wood of Cassan, ponds of Garenne, ponds and water levels of the park of Cassan, a water level in the forest in the north of the field of Forgets and another in the field of Vivray, supplied with the Ru of the same name. Lastly, various small water points are around the Grand Valley and in the neighborhoods of the golf of the Plovers.

The commune is fed out of water by the station of treatment of Cassan, is located on the commune and is managed by the company Lyonnaise of water. The drinking water of Isle-Adam is of very good quality bacteriological, containing few Nitrates, hard but not very fluorinated. The water distributed with Isle-Adam is of underground origin.

The geographical location of Isle-Adam makes the commune particularly vulnerable to natural risks: old zones of careers are in the basement and constitute risks of collapse in urban environment (with the hamlet of Stors, in skirt of forest or around the castle of Forgets). On the other hand, the commune is subjected at no risk of movement of ground related to the dissolution of the Gypse (risk running in the Val-d'Oise). More important however, the alluvial plain is at the consecutive risk of Inondation to a Crue of Oise. Potentially, of the built-up areas of the accesses of the river can be suddenly flooded in the event of raw: they are the inhabited islands, of the sector of the beach and the retail parks and dwelling in the south of the center closest to the banks.

Pollution of the grounds

The commune includes/understands one site listed in the database of the ministry for ecology relating to the sites and grounds polluted (or potentially polluted) calling an action of the public authorities, with preventive measure or curative (BASOL). It is about an old factory of production of Gaz by distillation of the Houille, demolished in 1965 and used 1936 with 1967 like simple gasometric station. The site is located in edge of river. He is regarded as " to supervise " according to a study of Gaz de France, its current owner (who exploited it forever). An negative impact on subterranean water and the grounds related to the existence of the site was observed. The first work of treatment was carried out in 1998 (neutralization of the sump, containment of ashes). The site is interdict of access, waste were evacuated and last measurements, positive, encourage with a less monitoring.

The commune in addition includes/understands a little more than one forty sites listed in database BASIAS of inventory old industrial sites and lines of business. This number is rather moderate if one compares it with the 77 sites listed in the common neighbor of Persan, however less populated.

Town planning of the City-Park

The communal territory can be divided coarsely into several parts:

the islands : the island of Derivation on the level of which lock and stopping are located is not inhabited while the islands of the Priory and the Mob are built, in particular houses in edge of river. The southern point of the island of the priory is occupied by a public park and the northern point by a small castle built on the site of the historical castles.
the center , vis-a-vis the islands, concentrates around the municipal buildings, of cultural equipment and of the church Saint Martin's day, the habitat is rather dense and old and comprises many trade in Main street (of which a supermarket completely enclosed, invisible since the busy ways) and various restaurants at the edge of Oise near the cinema. The green areas are not absent (Manchez park, place of the Rough grazing in particular).
In the south of the center and the avenue of Paris is the district of the Park and, more in the east, the district of the Catches (less homogeneous in the frame than the first). The habitat is structured there around main roads (boulevard of the Republic, avenue of the Catches, street Saint-Lazare), it is less dense than in the center there, one finds many residences elegant typical of the Grande crown, in particular hones Meulière of it, distributed within allotments of the beginning of the 20th century.
In the zone ranging between the center, the street of Beaumont (North-South axis, secondary road 922) and Oise, around equipment such as the college, the college, school complex, the private clinic or the beach is held the districts of the Pheasantry and Garenne . The district of Garenne, always under development, is a recent zone suburban (Années 1980) rather dense but rather green because structured around vast raised water levels. The district of the Pheasantry presents multifamily apartments low going back from the Années 1960, many public buildings (associative sports equipment, hospital, buildings, etc) and the prospect for the green alley.
In edge of forest, the park of Cassan is, since the Années 1970, a very green suburban zone on the remainders of a Anglo-Chinese field built by Bergeret. Relatively isolated residential zone, it includes/understands the Chinese House, historic building, and a large inclined meadow leading to water levels occupied by swans and ducks. The residence includes/understands five hundred houses. It is decorated of a swimming pool, tennis and security services, the whole private. The high part of the Park presents vaster pieces and more in withdrawal of the ways that the low part.
Between the park of Cassan, the top of the avenue of Paris and the street of Beaumont' the district of Nogent' , located at the site of the Gallo-Roman village which gave him its name, constitutes a human storage area very old and had the appearance of a secondary center town of the commune. One finds there old houses of city and old farms around a small square where trade of proximity and a discrete supermarket and with the variation are organized.
In the south of the commune, between Isle-Adam and Mériel, beyond the field of Vivray, the hamlet of Stors , attached to the commune during the Revolution, is located on the slopes of the valley of Oise. It is next to the Château of Stors, in the course of restoration, and includes/understands vast pieces and residences. One finds there a private clinic psychiatric called the cardinal Points .
the Forêt of Isle-Adam occupies the remainder of the communal territory. To note however, along Oise in the south, the presence of some cultivated zones who occupy the locality the Large Valley . Important also, in the North-East beyond the forest are a vast retail park ( the Large Valley ) and, with extreme-is communal territory, beyond the highway A16, the golf of the Plovers.

New the Local plan of town planning was voted in 2006. The principal stake of town planning with Isle-Adam is, on the one hand, to maintain a development residential moderate vis-a-vis the urban and demographic pressure of the urban Aire of Paris and, on the other hand, to ensure a development of the commune in the respect of the natural zones and green areas which take part largely of local quality of life.

Occupation of the territory

The communal territory extends, to the maximum, on approximately five kilometers of north in the south and on four kilometers of is in west. It is primarily rural and forest (73%).

Urban space is composed in great majority (70,9%) of individual habitats and not-built spaces (parks, gardens, vacant). The surface of the green areas of the city rises with 70m ² per capita. The collective habitats all, discontinuous and low, represented in 1999 only 3,9% of communal urban space. Commercial large surfaces, offices and zones of activities as occupy they, cumulated, 3,9% of the territory, less as the equipment (6,4%) and the spaces assigned to transport (7,1%).

Housing

The residences with Isle-Adam are on average more recent and vaster than in the remainder of the area Île-de-France. Isle-Adam counted: 4821 residences of which: 4405 main homes in 1999 is 91,4% of the total (for 2,2% of second home). The Middle Age of the park Immobilier is lower than the regional tendency, a strong majority of the residences dating from the Années 1950 and afterwards: 44,5% of the main homes went back to 1949 with 1974, against 37,8% in Île-de-France. Recent constructions are more present than the average of the area, signs of a real policy of construction of new housing: in 1999, 14,5% of the main homes dated from 1990 or afterwards against 9,1% in Île-de-France. A contrario , constructions former to 1949 accounted for only 23,7% of the park compared with 33,7% for the regional average francilienne.

Isle-Adam is a suburban commune cash nevertheless a share considerable of multifamily apartments, and especially made up owners. 55,5% of the main homes are houses and 44,5% of the apartments (respectively 26,9% and 73,1% in the area). 59,3% of the inhabitants are owners of their housing, against 36,8% which are only tenants (respectively 44,3% and 51,1% in the area).

Isle-Adam is subjected to the legislative obligation of construction of 20% of social housing under the terms of the law n°2000-1208 of December 13rd, 2000 relating to solidarity and the renewal urban. With 573 residences HLM of the park in 1999 (23,4% in the area) is 13,0%, the city does not respect the provisions of the law. In 2007, the percentage of social housing amounts from now on to 16%, sign of a setting in progressive conformity. One can note moreover that the number of vacant housings was relatively weak in 1999 with 5,5% of the park against 8,1% on average regional. 42,8% of the adamois had been resident commune for more than nine years in 1999 against 44,6 on average in Ile-de-France, translating a mobility in the commune slightly higher than the regional average.

The dwellings are characterized by their important surface: a strong majority counts four parts (60,1%). The residences of three parts (23,7%) follow, then 2 parts (11,4%). The small residences remain very minority (studios: 4,8%). However, 32,7% of the households were made up only of two people, and 26,6% of only one, tendency which one finds with identical in the area in strong increase of 1990 to 1999.
The city thus has residences rather in conformity with the tendencies franciliennes with a younger park but nevertheless a clear underrepresentation of small surfaces and collective habitats.

Communication network and transport

Network and road transport

The principal road axes of communication of the city are the secondary road 64 and the trunk road 922. The articulation of these two ways, respectively directed East-West and North-South and which are cut in the center of the city, allows an easy road service road of the various districts. The city is structured overall according to a plan in goose leg since the center where avenues cross the territory and prolong ways and prospects traced by Ours in the forest.

The departmental 64 connects Isle-Adam to Parmain in the west while crossing Oise. Towards the east, it continues through the forest until the Trunk road 184, right before the junction with the trunk road 1 and the highway A16, prosecutor nevertheless until Presles under the name of D64E. In the west, the road continues until Marines, in the middle of the French Vexin, while crossing, after Parmain, the communes of Nesles-the-Valley, Labbeville, Vallangoujard, Epiais-Rhus, Grisy-the-Plasters and Bréançon. The portion of this road which crosses Isle-Adam bears the name of avenue of Paris. Passed the center town, it is inclined and broadside of trees to the entry of the forest.

The trunk road 922 constitutes as for it the North-South road axis of the city under the street names of Beaumont and Pontoise and cuts the avenue of Paris about in the center of the commune. It continues in north through the wood of Cassan to the shopping mall the Large Valley , again allows a junction with a16 highway and the trunk road 1, and, after having taken the name of secondary road 922, continues, via Mours and Beaumont-on-Oise all along the northern limit of the Val-d'Oise until the Seine-et-Marne in the east (under the name of D992E starting from Luzarches). Towards the south since Isle-Adam, the trunk road 922 desserts the hamlet of Stors and continues while following the course of Oise until Pontoise via Mériel, Méry-on-Oise and Saint-Ouen-the Alms.

The major road axes at the regional level or national which Trunk road 184 are the , the trunk road 1 and the highway A16 pass to the east of the commune, beyond the forest, and thus do not constitute a notable source of noise pollution. These axes directly connect nevertheless the city to many destinations. The trunk road 184 connects Isle-Adam to Saint-Germain-in-Bush hammer (Yvelines) via Cergy-Pontoise, the trunk road 1 conduit in Paris (Porte of the Vault) in the south, via the exchanger of the Green Cross, and, in north, Bray-Dunes (Northern, Belgian border) via Beauvais, Amiens and Boulogne-sur-Mer. A16 highway, from which the layout begins with Isle-Adam, connects the commune to the Belgium via the Picardy and the Nord-Pas-de-Calais. Part of the highway is on the territory even commune, separating the zone from the golf of the Plovers of the remainder of the communal territory. The project of connection of the highway to the Francilienne is followed of close with Isle-Adam, two of the meetings of the Public debate on the subject, in the long term, will have been held there.

Railway network and public transport

No line of Railroad crosses the territory of the commune. The station of Isle-Adam is indeed on the commune of Parmain. It is served by the railway line two-track Paris parks North - Persan-Beaumont via Valmondois. This axis constitutes a joint base on this section with the transverse line Pontoise - Creil.

This station ensures only one passenger service of suburbs. The railway services are ensured by the Transilien of the SNCF, line H. Persan-Beaumont run times towards and Paris are respectively of 9 and 48 minutes in the non-stop trains fastest. However, few trains are direct, except some at the rush hours, the majority of the ways requiring a change in Gare of Valmondois. It is also possible to borrow a non-stop train Paris - Persan-Beaumont (FOR THE THIRD TIME Picardy) then the Pontoise line - Creil for one run time sometimes slightly lower according to the correspondences.

Sometimes to go to Paris, Adamois motorized prefer FOR THE THIRD TIME to borrow the non-stop trains of Picardy since the Gare of Persan-Beaumont (way of less than one half an hour) or, with Montsoult, the Transilien trains circulating on the line Persan-Beaumont by Montsoult-Maffliers, station also connected by a service of bus to the city.

The line of the Network of bus Busval of Oise 95.16 in its Vallangoujard way - Isle-Adam Grand Valley serves the commune. It marks three stops in the city: Church (gone), Shopping mall (Leclerc) and Large Valley. Line 95.07 (Cergy - Parmain, stop Town hall) is also accessible, while crossing Oise, at the station of Isle-Adam - Parmain.

River system

The Oise constitutes one of the first inland waterways of France in terms of goods transport. With Isle-Adam, the river is arranged and channeled. On the level of the island of Derivation a lock and a stopping are. This last is currently in complete rebuilding by the inland Waterways of France. The river is also used with the pleasure boats (barges) and for the veil. The city has a circle of yatching with veil since 1962, located at north east, in the zone of the Three Sources. The sailing ships evolve/move in the arm of Oise located between bank of Isle-Adam and southern bank of the Champagne island.

Sound pollution

If, on paper, of many portions of ways on the communal territory or in the neighborhoods are potentially sources of sound Pollution important, these various terrestrial infrastructures have actually an impact relatively limited in terms of effective sound pollution. Indeed, although some are classified of level 2 to see 1 (A16 highway), in edge of the inhabited areas only one portion of Main street, sees commercial center town, is classified of category 3 at the date of realization of the study (2001). Since this date, road works in addition sought to decrease the noise level of circulation on the portion concerned by slowing down it. The other classified ways of category 3,2 or 1 are located in edge of the commune or in the east of the main forest and are of this fact relatively far away from the inhabited areas (except hamlet of Stors, slightly more exposed). Only the way of railroad skirting Right Bank of Oise with Parmain, classified level 2, constitutes a potential effective source of noise pollutions. The two main axes crossing the city are classified as for them in category 4.

Near to the Airport Roissy-Charles-of-Gaulle, Isle-Adam is not located under an air lane but in lower part of the zone known as of dispersion. The commune is flown over when the winds bring to the use of the configuration Is (40% of time on average over the year) which generates a flow of traffic coming from North/Is or of the South/Is France (hundred daily apparatuses including 10% the night). The measurements taken by the acoustic service of Aéroports of Paris in March 2007 show that “takeoffs vis-a-vis the West and the landings vis-a-vis the East do not have a significant influence on the measured ambient noise level of the commune of Isle Adam. ”

Hiking trails

The relatively preserved character of the territory of the commune, spared by a soft urbanization between valley of Oise and national forest, explains the number of hiking trails which furrow it and reinforce the tourist attraction of the city. The Sentier of great excursion GR1, which makes the turn of the Île-de-France, is delayed lengthily with Isle-Adam. Coming from Parmain, he traverses the forest by the south or in his center by a diverticulum. Another diverticulum of the GR1 skirts Oise from the islands until Mours. Other ways known as PR (small excursion) are also notable. PR 18 traverses the green alley in the center of the city, Nogent and the neighborhoods of the park of Cassan. PR 14 is primarily forester, as well as the PR15, which however makes a loop by the golf of the Plovers and the west of Presles.

Access to the closest airports

By the road, Isle-Adam is with 36 kilometers in the west of the airport Aéroport Roissy-Charles-of-Gaulle, with 17 kilometers in the east of the Aéroport of Pontoise - Cormeilles-in-Vexin and with 50 kilometers in the south of the Aéroport of Paris Beauvais Tillé.

Climate

Isle-Adam as all the Île-de-France is subjected to a degraded oceanic Climat. He intramurally is different from the climate of Paris by a variation in temperature of a few degrees, particularly notable at daybreak, and which tends to be accentuated with the passing of years. This variation, of 2° on average but which can reach 8° by one night clear and a weak Vent, is explained by the urban density which increases the temperature in the middle of the agglomeration. The annual average temperature is of 11°C, the month more the cold is January with +4°C; the hottest months are July and August with +19°C (average day laborer).

History

Origins

The territory adamois is occupied since the most moved back times. the Abbot Breuil (1867-1961), paleontologist, discovers at the twentieth century of cut flints of the era Paléolithique with the accesses of Oise. In addition, with the monuments of the Neolithic era constellates the area around Isle-Adam, with Parmain, Presles, in Forêt of Carnelle or in the Bois of the Tower of Lay. Burials of the Bronze Age are updated at the end of the 20th century on the communal territory, one close to the Ru of Vivray, the other close to the Ru of wood.

Towards Cassan, Forgets, Nogent, Stors and Vivray, traces of Gallic occupation were found. The commune is with the crossing of zones of occupation of various tribes: Véliocasses (Vexin), Bellovaques (Oise) and Silvanectes (Senlis). The first perennial human occupation noted on the territory is that of a Gallic village, called Novigentum after the passage of the legions of César. The occupation of this zone is continuous since the Gallic time until today. Indeed, the oldest district of Isle-Adam bears today the name of Nogent, which is derived from Novigentum . This original core of population is located at the shelter of raw of Oise and the proximity of the forest provides him resources of number. An occupation of the same time of the islands and banks of Oise is not excluded but less indices tend to confirm it with certainty. The village of Nogent forms part at the time Gallo-Roman country of Chambly (Pagus Caméliacencis). Several traces, whose coins, Romans for the majority, found in 1974 close to the street of the Madeleine during road works, testify to this Antiquité.

Medieval time

Nogent and holy Denis

The village belongs to the territories supposedly evangelized by holy Denis at the 3rd century. A charter of Charles II the Bald person gone back to 862, which constitutes the first hard copy of the village, recalls that the king Louis Débonnaire granted in 832 grounds to Nogent to the monks of the abbey of saint Denis. The monks Benedictines then serve the parish which included/understood, in addition to a church dedicated to holy Martin included/understood in the diocese of Beauvais, a necropolis and a manor seigneurial, located around the current street of the High Room. The lords of Isle-Adam (see low) remain a long time under the suzerainty of the abbey and that of the counts de Beaumont. It is only in 1223 that the knights of Isle become vassal direct of the king.

The raids Vikings

The attacks of the warriors Vikings work the history of the city insofar as they are at the origin of the military installation then religious longest of the islands of Oise, today island of the Priory. Indeed, to stop the raids of the men of north, the king of France Charles II the Bald person sends the count Aleran to defend Oise. In this defensive concern is set up in 865 the strong first on the island of the priory, not far from the village of Nogent. However, with the autumn 885, these precautions do not prevent the bag of Nogent and the destruction of the primitive castle out of wooden by the chief Siegfried Viking. Rebuilt shortly after hones some, the military building evolves/moves with the wire of the centuries to become true a medieval Castle-extremely whose last remainders, a gross tower, are shaven in 1700. In addition, the attacks Vikings bring indirectly to the city of the invaluable relics which justify the construction of a religious building on the island where the castle is. Indeed, the attacks repeated on the Abbaye of Almenèche, in what is not yet the Normandy, oblige the fold of its goods with Moussy-le-Neuf and the transfer of the relics of holy Godegrand and his/her sister Convenient Sainte. In 1014, a priory dedicated to Notre-Dame and Godegrand saint is founded on the island by the first lord of known Isle-Adam, who bears the name of Adam of… Moussy. Part of the relics of this stronghold are then entrusted to the new priory. The relics of Godegrand saint are always visible in the church of Isle-Adam, almost a millenium after their arrival.

Adam Ier of Isle and his descendants, knights of Isle (1014-1364)

Following the signature of the Treated Saint-Clearly-on-Epte into 911, the attacks Vikings cease, the Vexin is shared, like always today, in two parts and the Normandy is created. The castle of the island is then entrusted to the lord Adam , or Adam de Moussy, is connected with the capétienne family recently on the throne. The châtellenie gradually takes to the name of Isle-Adam then the island itself takes this name. By extension, the city which developed between the island and Nogent preserves the name of Isle-Adam. The men and the places thus give jointly its current name to the city. Adam Ier is the founder proven of the priory of the island in 1014.

The dynasty of the knights of Isle continues over several centuries, always near to the royal capacity. Thus, Adam II of Isle, wire of the first known lord, occupies the prestigious load of Connétable of France under Philippe I {{er}}. The wife of Adam III of Isle, Aëlis, is the first woman quoted in the history of the city. His/her son, Ansel Ier, are the founder of the abbey of the Valley in 1136. It is buried there in 1161, like thereafter much of its descendants. Ansel III, first lord to use the name of Isle-Adam, founds the Saint-Lazare leper-house in 1228, transformed into farm in 1668 and disappeared today (it was located at the level of current number 54 of the street Saint-Lazare. The field of Vivray shelters a cemetery at that time. Ansel III takes part in the Fifth crusade and is wounded with Gaza. Ansel IV takes part, him, with the Ost of Flanders in 1304. The goods of the templiers in the seigniory pass to the hospital of Midsummer's Day of Jerusalem after the dissolution of the order by Philippe Beautiful the.

Plague, war and end of a line

Died without male descendant in 1324, Ansel IV of Isle-Adam bequeaths his stronghold by will, after the death of his wife, jointly to its Gasce nephew and his Guillemette daughter. In most extremely of the epidemic of Black Death, Gasce dies, and only leaves Guillemette main of Isle-Adam in 1348. The English invasion however makes it flee with Pontoise, in the nuns of House-God. The castle-extremely is occupied by the English in 1358, then delivered in the year by the lords of the Vexin. At the same time with the English invasion, of the Jacqueries shake the campaigns of the north of Paris. Guillemette does not leave Pontoise and sells, before dying without children, with Pierre de Villiers, future lord of Isle-Adam, the seigniory of Valmondois. The châtellenie of Isle-Adam falls to the niece of Ansel IV, Guillemette of Luzarches, last representing of the downward family of Adam Ier of Isle. She sells it in 1364 to same Pierre de Villiers.

Villers of Isle-Adam (1364-1527)

Pierre de Villiers, large Master of the hotel of the King is the first lord of this already powerful family to enjoy the grounds adamoises. He makes devote a vault to the Apôtres Saint Pierre and Saint Paul in the castle and receives in 1386 there the king of France Charles VI. His/her son, Pierre II of Villiers, sees confirming his rights on the châtellenie in 1390 after a lawsuit against his half-brother, the archdeacon of the Sologne. His wife, Jeanne de Châtillon, receive with the castle in 1402, after the death of her husband and during the minority of Jehan de Villiers, Philippe the Bold one, duke of Burgundy.

His/her son Jehan (or Jean) of Villiers, Marshal of France, Jeanne wife of Vallangoujard, alliance which increases its grounds of the seigniories of Vallangoujard, Fontenelle (current commune of Nesles-the-Valley) and of Amblainville. Whereas Jehan de Villiers occupies the load of seneshal of the Boulonnais, it is of this fact out of its grounds and Isle-Adam becomes the last refuge of the brigand called Sauvage of Frémainville. He is captured there before being hung with Bagnolet. The city of Isle-Adam has, in addition, at that time a Gibet with the crossroads of the current old men way of Paris and street of the Madeleine. Jean de Villiers is the father of Philippe Villiers of Isle-Adam (1464 - 1534) which is not lord of Isle-Adam, because wire junior but finds his place as Grand Master of the Ordre of the Knights of Rhodos.

Jacques de Villiers, provost of Paris, which condemns to dead François Villon, (lord of 1437 with 1471) then Antoine de Villiers (of 1471 with 1504) succeed Jean. Antoine de Villiers, husband in first weddings of Marguerite de Montmorency, makes finance by new taxes work of restoration of the castle after an investigation of the Baillif of Senlis noting the damage caused by the risings of Oise. His/her brother, Louis de Villiers, count-bishop of Beauvais in 1487, starts the construction of one second church dedicated to saint Martin between the castle and Nogent (the current church of the city). He devotes it in 1499. The wounds of the Guerre One hundred year old are closed again.

Once major, Charles de Villiers (lord of 1510 with 1527) benefits from the legal settlement signed between François Ier and the pope Leon X to be named abbot joint mandatory of the abbey of the Valley and bishop of Limoges. A stained glass represents it in the church of Montmorency. It receives in its castle of Isle-Adam François Ier in 1519. Charles de Villiers sells his seigniories to his cousin Anne de Montmorency (1492-1567) in 1527, but usufruct for the remainder of its life keeps some. He dies in 1535, before to have been able to be named cardinal as it wishes it. Isle-Adam then becomes fully a possession of Montmorency.

Development of transport and the trade

With the the Middle Ages, the city develops between the islands and Nogent on the axis of current Main street. The first mention of the market of Isle-Adam, always active and important, date of the 16th century but it is probable that there had existed at that time for already several centuries because of strategic position of the city on the river. The passage of Oise, centers commercial, provided rights known as of through, taxes of passage, with the lords as of the 13th century.

The bridges were kept until the end of the 19th century by Masters of bridge, who were transmitted the function of wire father. These important characters directed the brotherhood of the Compagnons of the Arch charged to assure the towing of the boats on this turbulent zone of the river. The bridges of Isle-Adam, like those of Pontoise and Conflans-Holy-Honorine, were maintained by the Town hall Paris until the 18th century. In addition to the bridges, a vat on the level of Stors also took care of the transport of the passengers and goods from one bank to another, it was in service until in 1847. With the site of the current beach the place was held of the Fire of Midsummer's Day. The place of the Rough grazing, whose name is remained today, was undoubtedly useful at the time medieval of place of grazing ground.

Posterity of the religious buildings of the Middle Ages

In 1560, the worship is removed in the already old church of Nogent and, in 1567, the new church saint Martin, nearer to Oise, is devoted one second time per Anne de Montmorency. A cemetery surrounds it until in 1842. The ruins of the church of Nogent as for them are demolished in 1860. Its site, with the angle of the street of the Madeleine and of feels old church of Nogent, is always indicated nowadays. A fire devastates the new Saint Martin's day church in 1661. It is then rebuilt with the identical one.

The priory built on the island in 1014 is used as church until in 1300, date of the transfer of the worship to the church of Nogent. The building in itself disappears in 1711. The relics of Godegrand saint are always preserved in the church of Isle-Adam, although they miss disappearing during the Revolution.

Sainte Madeleine is celebrated like holy owner of the city, a street always bears its name and the vault of Stors, built at the 12th century then rebuilt in 1633, is devoted to him.

Lastly, the priory of the Catches, in Forest of Isle-Adam, is entrusted to the Grands Montains in 1169 by Bouchard V of Montmorency, at the time where Adam IV of Isle is lord of Isle-Adam. The building disappears in 1791. The avenue of the Catches perpetuates the memory of it.

Rebirth and modern age

In September 1527, the son of Antoine Villiers of Isle-Adam, Charles, who repurchased the rights of his brothers and sisters to avoid any parcelling out of the field, gives this one, with reserve of usufruct, with the constable Anne de Montmorency (1492-1567). One at that time estimates the population of the city at approximately five hundred inhabitants. The constable makes rebuild the castle and the communal mill located on the bridge connecting the island of the priory to Right Bank of the river in 1540. The castle accommodates François I {{er}} in 1531, 1539 and 1540. Claude de Villiers, younger brother of Charles de Villiers tries, in vain, to dispute the rights of Anne de Montmorency on the châtellenie in 1535. The king Henri II visit the constable in his grounds of Isle-Adam before his sacring in 1547 then, the same year, with two other recoveries. In 1552, Anne de Montmorency enriches her field by the seigniory of Jouy-the-Count and, in 1567, by the stronghold of Châteaupré. This last takes the name of Cassan following the marriage of its owner, Anne of Auvergne, with Philippe de Cassant, Piedmontese gentleman come to France with the court from the queen Catherine de Médicis.

Wars of religion with Isle-Adam

Following the Battle of Jarnac, François de Montmorency, wire of the large constable and lord of Isle-Adam of 1567 with 1579, imprisons François de Béthune, father of Sully, with the castle of Isle-Adam in 1569.

In 1583, white processions, on the basis of Pontoise bound for Senlis, cross the city in answer to the natural phenomena having frightened the populations of the area (earthquake with Beaumont, northern light).

Under the reign of Henri IV, Henri Ier de Montmorency being lord of Isle-Adam (of 1579 with 1613) but battling in the Languedoc, Isle-Adam undergoes the wars between members of a league and in favor of the new king, to which Henri Ier joined. The members of a league occupy the city in 1589, just like Pontoise and the Vexin. Henri IV, then King de Navarre, comes to take again Pontoise and Isle-Adam, where it is on July 20th, 1589. Become king de France, it again occupies the city in January 1590 after the Bataille of Ivry. Last once, Isle-Adam is occupied and plundered by the members of a league of Pontoise in 1591, the castle is damaged on this occasion. The marquis of O and a small army delivers it definitively. A truce concluded shortly after specifies the neutrality of the city and of its castle and a sum is allocated with its repair. In 1609, Henri IV returns in the city last once.

Dukes of Montmorency to prince de Bourbon-Cop

Henri Ier and Henri II of Montmorency prefer to reside in Languedoc, that they control, rather than in their seigniory of Isle-Adam. The city knows small epidemics of Peste doing few victims in 1619 and 1623. In revolt against Richelieu and the royal authority, Henri II of Montmorency is carried out with Toulouse in 1632. Its goods are confiscated by Louis XIII which restores of it thereafter the major part with the sisters of the late one. One of them, Charlotte-Marguerite de Montmorency, woman of Henri II of Bourbon-Cop, receives the field of Isle-Adam who passes thus to the Maison of Cop, connects junior by the Maison of Bourbon.

With died of Henri II of Bourbon-Cop in 1651, its goods are divided between his/her three children: Louis II of Bourbon-Cop, Armand of Bourbon-Conti and Anne Genevieve de Bourbon-Cop, duchess of Longueville. It is Armand of Bourbon-Conti, wire junior, first Prince de Conti, which receives the field of Isle-Adam. He remains until the French revolution in this branch of the house of Bourbon.

Isle-Adam under princes de Conti

Never Isle-Adam was also near to the royal capacity only during this period. The richnesses of its lords allow during the S the enlarging and the construction of a field of holiday hunting and pleasures which competes with Chantilly in ostentation and elegance. The Cardinal of Richelieu comes in 1630 to baptize Armand of Bourbon-Conti to the castle and the Cardinal Mazarin assists to with it with its sumptuous marriage with his/her own niece in 1653. Whereas this last was lord of Isle-Adam, of 1650 with 1672, two fires devastate the church Martin saint in 1661 and the castle in 1669. The princess of Conti Anne Marie Martinozzi cabin then with Parmain during repairs and the embellishment of the building. The vault and the files can be saved flames. Residing much in Languedoc, prince Armand makes all the same come with Isle-Adam missionaries Joséphites to serve the vault of the castle, the maladrery and to occupy what currently the Louis-Senlecq museum. These monks are charged, in particular, of the education of the local nobility.

The '' Grand Conti '' succeeds his/her brother of 1685 with 1709. To died of Armand, Jean of the Fountain addresses to the new lord, with Isle-Adam even, a epistle of consolation. Large benefactor of the field, the prince acquires in 1701 the seigniory of Chambly and in 1705 the county of Beaumont-on-Oise. The following year it again increases its grounds of the seigniory of Boulonville with Jouy-the-Count, of the stronghold of Be worth with Champagne-on-Oise and of that of Mondétour to the Mesnil-Saint-Denis. He makes demolish the remainders of the strong castle having survived work of Montmorency and the fire of 1669 and replaces the old woman feudal tower by a house of caretaker's lodge. He repurchases in his proper name the whole of the island of the priory but dies before to have been able to conclude their his projects of installation. He succeed '' the green monkey '', lord of 1709 with 1727, which marks the city little but retains nevertheless recluse his wife and German cousin Louise-Elisabeth de Bourbon-Cop with the castle of Isle-Adam little time before his death.

His/her son Louis François of Bourbon-Conti says the Father-Prince , lord of 1727 with 1776, tested by the death of his Louise-Diane wife of Orleans in 1736, spends two years of retirement in his castle of Isle-Adam where he devotes himself to the Chasse, far from the Cour. Thereafter, its military victories are worth to him in gift of the king Louis XV six parts of gun installed in the forecourt of the castle until the Revolution. It increases the field of Isle-Adam in 1746 of the seigniories of Stors, Villiers-Adam and Mortefontaine with Parmain. Two years later, it acquires the ground and seigniory of Nointel. In 1749, it leaves Isle-Adam for the enclosure of the Temple in Paris. It does not give up any therefore its field which it often attends. It makes castle and of its forests of the places of huntings and festivals among most elegant of the kingdom where remain Jean of the Fountain and where the young person Mozart comes to play in 1766. Works of Véronèse, Titien, the Dwarf or Watteau decorate the large gallery of the castle. A funerary vault in the church Martin saint always points out the memory of this Prince patron.

End of the Lords

The last lord of Isle-Adam, and last Prince de Conti, Louis François Joseph of Bourbon-Conti refunds the immense debts of his father but contracts news of them. It increases and embellishes in its turn the field: restoration of the castle, construction of gigantic stables for two hundred and fifty horses on the level of the current Manchez park, purchase of the seigniory of Champagne-on-Oise. This expenditure goes hand in hand with several sales. Thus the Prince separates, in particular, of part of the collections of tables of his father, his hotel of Versailles, mill of Naze with Valmondois (current house of Flour-milling), castle of Auvers-sur-Oise and grounds in Paris. In spite of these sales, it cannot support its properties financially and sells the remainder of its inheritance with the count de Provence Louis-Stanislas-Xavier, brother of the King, who acts like ready name of the King in person. The transaction is done in its terms: Louis XVI was to have the naked-property of the seigniories of Isle-Adam, Nogent, Valmondois, Parmain, Jouy-the-Count, Champagne, Presles, Fontenelle, Boulonville, Stors, Chaumont-in-Vexin, Trie, Mouy, Méru, Mantes, Meulan, Pontoise, Auvers, Beaumont, Chambly, etc; but he declared that he did not intend to join together these goods with the field of the crown and that he wanted to have them distinctly to have it thereafter with his liking. The count of Provence, figurehead, would have only usufruct his life during. Prince de Conti reserved the pleasure until his death of the castles and parks of Isle-Adam, Stors, Trie, with the hunting rights and of fishing in the forests and rivers of Isle-Adam and other grounds of Vexin. The king must pay to the prince a heavy capital as well as interests. The Revolution and the Empire intervening before the death of the Prince in 1814, the royal family is able to enjoy the fields of Isle-Adam, neither the future Louis XVIII, nor a fortiori Louis XVI.

In addition to Conti, the family Bergeret , become Bergeret de Grancourt, counts at the 18th century among the noble benefactors of the city. This family of commoners anoblis develops the field of Cassan and enriches the town of constructions, attracting Jean-Honore Fragonard and of many artists in their court. Today, it remains of their power the park of Cassan, without its castle, destroyed in 1960 Chinese, and its house as well as the building of the small Bergeret hotel, which places the center of art Jacques Henri Lartigue. Bergeret yield the whole of their goods in the commune in 1803.

Administratively, Isle-Adam constitutes at the dawn of the Revolution a primary Baillage, it is attached to the secondary baillage Pontoise and to the principal baillage of Senlis.

The food shortage of 1788 involves revolts with Isle-Adam and, as of 1789, prince de Conti emigrates. Of return in 1790, it is named ordering National guard with Isle-Adam at the request of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, the prince is detached little by little from his stronghold starting from this date and spends his last French years in his field of the Moor to the Villiers-on-Marne. Its goods, sold before to the King and to his brother, are sequestered. He is imprisoned of 1793 with 1795 with Marseilles. The advent of the Consulate and its law of deportation lead to its expulsion towards the Spain. He dies in Barcelona in 1814, whereas splendid constructions of its family with Isle-Adam were dismounted stone by stone. Exactly eight hundred years after the construction of the modest priory on an island of Oise by Adam Ier of Isle, the death of last prince de Conti follows little the end of the brilliant aristocratic history of Isle-Adam.

The Revolution

The Register of grievances of the commune written in 1789 comprises ten articles. He claims primarily a reform of the systems of imposition and an equality between the orders. A middle-class militia is made up, armed with rifles of the princes found in the stables. It becomes, the following year, a body of National guard of four companies, of which three are based with Isle-Adam.

In February 1790 is elected the first mayor of Isle-Adam, Jean-Augustin Deschamps, notary. The commune is set up in chief town of canton in March. The entity then includes/understands the eleven communes of Villiers-Adam, Méry, Mériel, Jouy-the-Count (today Parmain), Nesles, Fontenelle (attached today to Nesles-the-Valley), Labbeville, Frouville, Hérouville, Auvers and Valmondois. During the revolutionary period, the hamlet of Stors is absorbed by the commune.

The civil Constitution of the clergy divides the religious authorities of the commune into 1791. Whereas the priest of saint Martin, Jean-Baptiste Martin, lends oath, the community joséphite installed by princes de Conti refuses and becomes refractory there. It does not remain less constant about it by the communal authorities, attached to their presence and their services. Jean Antoine Leroux, farmer, become mayor in November. The National guard again undergoes a recasting, the battalion of Isle-Adam is created, qualified on the communes of Jouy-the-Count, Villiers-Adam and Mériel. It is composed of seven companies of Fusilier S and one of pomegranate S.

Having left Isle-Adam for the Villiers-on-Marne, in 1792, the majority of the Armoiries of prince de Conti is unobtrusive public buildings. In December is elected a third mayor, Guillaume Bougault, mason. The city is used then as soldier stock rooms, which drains many soldiers there, sometimes turbulent.

In 1793, a public conflict bursts between the first schoolmaster of the commune, Deaubonne, which disputes the prerogatives of the priest, constant however by the municipal authorities and the inhabitants. The schoolmaster loses his arm wrestling initially. Nevertheless, the revolution is radicalized and the disposal of the national goods begins in the commune by those from the clergy. Teaching by monks is prohibited, a Tricolor floats with the front of the church. It is painted on order of the district on the common House, place of municipal debate and deliberation, “Unit, Indivisibilité of the Republic, Liberté, Fraternité or death”. The statues of the gate of the church are hammered and it hunting is opened against the religious signs. At the request of the municipal Popular Company, the church becomes Temple of the Reason, reliquaries and invaluable objects are molten. The relics of Godegrand saint however manage to be saved by the parishioners. The Martin priest, shown Royalism, is imprisoned in Pontoise. The official renouncement of the worship is voted in 1794, the last monks then leave the city and the state education as a whole is allocated to the schoolmaster. A new mayor is elected, Joseph Turpin, founder.

The castle of Conti is about to be saved sale in 1794 by Georges Couthon, friend of Robespierre, which wishes that it be maintained in order to install there “establishments useful for agriculture and arts”. Its execution puts an end to the project. Problems of provisioning appear at the summer 1794 and various measurements are taken without success to cure it.

Under the Directory, Adamois and their municipal authorities manage to obtain the release and the return of the Martin abbot with Isle-Adam in 1795. The worship begins again then and the relics left their hiding-place. The castle is sold and becomes a factory of ribbons which goes bankrupt quickly. The new owner decides to make a career of it, as well as the Large stables, which leads to the demolition hones by stone of the two buildings. Other buildings are sold and undergo the same fate. The common House, town hall, settle with 21 rue Saint-Lazare to remain seventy-five years there.

Birth of a middle-class city: Isle-Adam at the 19th century

The city is concerned the destruction of the Révolutionnaire period slowly. Under the Restoration, Louis-Philippe de Villers-la-Faye is named mayor of the commune. Friend of Charles X, it invites on several occasions the young person Balzac with Isle-Adam, who, marked by the places, is inspired some later in some by his works. Thereafter, two important characters take part largely in the rehabilitation of the inheritance adamois and prepare without the knowledge its future potential of attractivity. On the one hand, Charles Dambry , mayor of 1834 with 1869, built the current town hall. It finances many road works and of embellishment and fact appears of father of modern Isle-Adam. A fountain of 1878 pays to him homage near the town hall. In addition, the father Jean-Baptiste Grimot , priest of the parish of 1848 with 1885, contributes to the embellishment and the restoration of the church (new stained glasses, purchase of old furniture). A bust of Jean-Louis Bozzi, sculptor adamois, pays homage to the founder of the historical and archaeological company of Pontoise and of the French Vexin in front of the presbytery since 1931.

Amputated by its castle, the city recovers properties and manors during the century: castles of the Jump of the Wolf, the island of the Priory, Commanderie, the Pheasantry, castle Bonnin then Béjot with Cassan leave ground. As of the middle of the century, the artists are interested in the site between Oise and forest and stops there. It is the case of Jules Dupre, Theodore Rousseau, Honore de Balzac or Daubigny. The railroad stops for the first time in Gare of Isle-Adam - Parmain in 1846 and at the time makes it possible to rejoin Paris in one hour fifteen minutes. The town hall decides the lighting of the streets with gas in 1879, the reverberators are fed by a Works gas of the edges of Oise, destroyed in 1965.

Between 1815 and 1940, the city becomes a production center of Céramique S in Terra cotta. These production centres provide in particular the tourist seaside resorts of the north of France in popular objects of decoration sold in the first souvenir shops.

Throughout the century, career S nourish constructions and the economy of the city, since the careers opened by the Topinard mayor on the current field of Forgets until the careers of the street of the Catches and the field of Vivray. They employ in the middle of the century more than two hundred and fifty people.

During the Second Empire, Napoleon III, of passage in the city, stops with the inn of Cassan, today disappeared, and, charmed reception which is made to him, offers a watch to the landlords. In 1860, a school of girls is open, the current school Albert-Camus and in 1868, a new vaster town hall of Renaissance style is inaugurated on the site of old a laundrette, and is paid partly by the mayor, Mr Dambry.

At the time of the Franco-German War of 1870, after the disaster of Sedan, the events precipitate. As of on September 14th, the French Genius makes jump one of the arches of the large bridge on Oise in order to delay the progression of the enemy troops. However as of the 16, of the Uhlan S arrive with Isle-Adam by the forest. As of the following day, a squadron of Cavalerie helped of two hundred infantrymen tear off the flag of the town hall, deliver itself to plundering and requisition the most beautiful residences. Franc-tireurs of Parmain and surroundings are organized and resisted to the Prussians by tightening a ambush close to the hamlet of Stors, definitively upsetting peace in the two communes. After one week of engagements, the reprisals are hard: combatants are captured and shot, and thirty-two houses of Parmain are set fire to, as well as the Ducamp castle on the island of the Priory, which replaced the castle of Conti (it is rebuilt with identical after war), and one of the two bodies of guard, last vestiges of the traditional castle. Hundred fourteen Uhlans are killed or wounded and seven French finds death, their name is reproduced on the monument in their memory on the island of the Priory.

20th century

The commune cries its batch of sacrificed during the First World War. The first part of the century is marked by creation of the river beach, whose popularity reaches its apogee in the Années 1930. The place then attracts itself an important fame near the Parisian ones. Well quickly, however, the town of holiday which became Isle-Adam becomes again a ground of engagements and sufferings.

Isle-Adam during the First World War

September 2nd 1914, the Germans are with Senlis: the city is partly burnt what causes more the sharp concerns vis-a-vis the arrival of the invaders. September 3rd, the French Genius initially blows up the railway bridge of Mours, then the viaduct of Mill-Nine with Presles, then successively the bridges of Isle-Adam, Stors and Auvers. A patrol of Uhlan S appears in this last village whereas a German soldier is killed in forest of Isle-Adam, but, on September 14th, the Germans are stopped on the Marne and cease their progression in the area. The years of war cause more the sharp difficulties with the trade vis-a-vis the lack of liquidities. November 11th 1918, the armistice is celebrated by the Cloche S of the church, the day of the saint Martin, owner of the latter. The war memorial raised in the gardens of the town hall and inaugurated on August 21st 1921 bears the disappeared names of fifty-three Adamois.

Isle-Adam during the Second world war, martyrdom city, resistant and medal-holder

The city suffers particularly from the Second world war. In June 1940, the city accommodates French soldiers charged to defend, like always in its history, the strategic passage of Oise. The bridge of the mill and other footbridges connecting the islands between them and in Right Bank of the river are, for the third time in seventy years, destroyed by the French Genius in the night from June 11th to 12th. However, the bridge of Cabouillet is saved. Panic gains the population: the city is practically emptied of its inhabitants, in escape, whereas the German troops, coming from Parmain and of Champagne-on-Oise, try to cross Oise. They are held in failure effectively by the French Army, at the price of one hundred twelve killed soldiers, until this one receives the order to fold up towards Paris the 13 with 10:00 of the morning. A monument, inaugurated in 1947 on the edges of Oise, pays homage to military deaths of this battle.

Adamois return to the autumn in their city occupied by the German troops. Kommandantur is installed initially, lasting less than one year, in Castelrose, then, inter alia, with the hotel of Ecu-of-France and in the castle of Cassan. Many residences are requisitioned. The wood of Cassan are invested by an important complex of warehouses of ammunition. The inhabitants live the hours of occupied France: patrols of soldiers in the streets of the city, curfew and often cut electricity, increasingly Draconian rationing. In spite of the protests of the inhabitants, the busts in Bronze of Jules Dupre and the governor-general Louis-Gustave Binger are dismounted then molten in January 1942.

The installation of the Service of obligatory work (STO) in 1942 fact gradually of passing more and more from Adamois, fleeing work in Germany, in the Resistance. June 7th 1944, the shortly after the unloading combined in Normandy, the maquis of Ronquerolles makes run off the line a train of German tanks with Champagne-on-Oise, then taken for target by American planes. Following a denunciation, the Germans encircle a few days later the wood of Ronquerolles and, after a difficult combat, manage to capture eleven resistant. Those are brought back to the hotel of Ecu-of-France in order to be tortured, then finally carried out with orée of the forest. Adamois, Jean-Charles Fritz, are among them. A monument of 1945 their is high close to the way of the “Three-Sources”. Their companions inform the allies of important enemy installations in the wood of Cassan.

July 5th, 1944 about midday, Isle-Adam undergoes a allied Bombardement carried out by about fifty planes. A new bombardment proceeds the following day per same hour. August 2nd, a coded message is diffused by BBC: “Adam will tremble in his island”, which remains misunderstood inhabitants. August 3rd, several hundreds of planes pour more than three thousand bombs on Isle-Adam. The civilians are surprised violence of the bombardments, most fatal in the city. Fifty and one dead civilians and almost as many casualties are counted after the air raids of the summer 1944. A stele with the fountain of Nogent, inaugurated in 1946, points out their death. Two hundred buildings are shaved, of which castles of Cassan. The partial destruction is even more numerous, thus the Château of Stors suffered much from the bombardments. Nogent, constructions and the wood of Cassan are mainly destroyed. It is probably then in wood a place of assembly of missiles V1 and storage of ammunition, targets of the Allies.

The Germans, furious, plunder then set fire to houses with Nerville-the-Forest in reprisals. Among the resistant martyrs of Isle-Adam are two young members of the French Forces of the Interior shot in reprisals of the bombardments on August 15th. A stele close to the forest house of the Grid of Isle-Adam commemorates the incidental tragedy. Géo Grandjean, coordinator of local Resistance since his field of Forgets in forest also is stopped at that time, tortured with Isle-Adam then carried out in the clearing of the “Four-Oaks”, close to Domont. August 23rd, one week before leaving the city, the Germans shoot four resistant young people in forest of Isle-Adam; a stele pays homage to them on the Conti road, with the entry of the field of Forgets. August 30th, the enemy troops leave the city definitively by taking the way which led them there, by Parmain then Champagne-on-Oise. The same day towards 17:00, the American troops enter without combat the city coming from Mériel. A monument recalls this release to the crossroads of Vivray. With the release, Isle-Adam is disaster victim with 40%. Very quickly, lock on Oise and bridges are temporarily repaired in order to restore the communications between Parmain and Isle-Adam and to allow river circulation.

November 11th 1948, the city of Isle-Adam is seen quoted with the order of the brigade, with attribution of the medal of the Military Cross with bronze star. June 18th, 1950, Rene Pléven, then Minister for the war, gives this medal to the mayor Georges Bernier. The round not of the heroes of resistance and the many steles and monuments which mark out the communal territory perpetuate the memory of this period at Adamois of today.

Isle-Adam since 1945

In the Years 1960, Isle-Adam loses some of his elements of inheritance. It is at that time that the castle from the jump of the wolf and the remainders of the castle of Cassan disappear indeed. This destruction however allows the installation of the Manchez park and the Balzac school and the real development of the park of Cassan in the following decade. It is also in years 1960 that ground the buildings of the district of the Pheasantry leave, the Ile-de-France being then in great shortage of multifamily apartments. Those of Isle-Adam knew to remain low and relatively spaced constructions, not yielding to the style sometimes colossal bars built elsewhere in the area. The last real estate transaction of scale in the commune is the construction of the district of Garenne in the Années 1980, suburban zone located between the Oise and of the ponds of pleasure.

Since the Years 1970, the city is marked by the family Poniatowski, true dynasty political which governs the destinies of the commune since 1971. The national policy influence of Michel Poniatowski, mayor during thirty years, and, to a lesser extent, that of his/her son Axel, mayor since 2001, contributed to guarantee to the city a privileged position a middle-class city-park and character. Whereas Persan, Beaumont-on-Oise or Taverny took development models and of town planning specific to the suburbs of Paris of large crown, Isle-Adam and the communes which surround it made the choice in second half of the 20th century of a development based on quality of life, at the price, undoubtedly, of a socio-economic lack of co-education.
