Vernon (French pronunciation:[vɛʁnɔ̃]; Norman: Vernoun) is a commune in the French department of Eure, region of Normandy, northern France. It lies on the banks of the river Seine on the departmental border with Yvelines, about midway between Paris and Rouen. Vernon–Giverny station– which also serves neighbouring Giverny and its world-renowned Maison Monet– has rail connections to both.
The town is known for its production of engines by the SNECMA group. It is also the hometown of current Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu.
Mentioned in a Latin written document as Vernum, the /m/ at the end could be the last remains of the Celticmagus 'plain' or 'market', or it is a simple latinization, and the origin is just the Celtic word *uerno, alder tree (Bretongwern, Welshgwern, Irishfern, modern Frenchverne).
The village gave its name to a family who took part in the Norman Conquest of England, and then became a British first name.
The Hôtel de Ville was completed in 1895.[3]
The town is home to the Établissement Saint-Adjutor, a notable private school.
