Neauphle-le-Ch teau is a commune in the Yvelines department in the le-de-France region in north-central France. Neauphle-le-Ch teau would gain international notoriety in 1978 when, on October 8th, Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini rented and moved into a local chateau following his exile by the regime of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi in the midst of the Iranian Revolution, and after being deported from Iraq where he was taking refuge amongst the Shi'a community. The Ayatollah would continue to reside there until the following year, when he returned to Iran following the collapse of the Shah's regime, and later became Iran's Supreme Leader. Due to the Ayatollah's time residing in Neauphle-le-Ch teau, a street in Tehran on which the French Embassy in Iran is located is named after the village.
