The municipality of Maintenon (4,296 inhabitants in 2014, 1,144 ha), is located on river Eure, 20 km northeast of Chartres.
Maintenon is well known for its picturesque castle, first home to the
d'Angennes family, Marquis de Maintenon, later home of Madame de Maintenon (1635-1719),
the morganatic second wife of King Louis XIV (1683). The ruins of
the aqueduct of Maintenon, built by Louis XIV to carry water from river Eure
to the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, are still standing.

The flag of Maintenon, hoisted in front of the Castel Maintenon hotel, is white with the municipal arms, "Gules a bend or a canton argent charged with a lion's head sable langued gules crowned with a mural crown sable", and the name of the municipality below.
