Ivry-la-Bataille is a commune in the Eure Department in the Normandy region in northern France. Ivry-la-Bataille was formerly known as Ivry.
The Battle of Ivry took place near Ivry on 14 March 1590. It was renamed Ivry-la-Bataille (Ivry-the-Battle) to commemorate the battle and to distinguish the town from Ivry-sur-Seine.
Ivry-la-Bataille is located on the Eure River in Normandy and about thirty miles (50 km) west of Paris, at the boundary between the Île-de-France and the Beauce regions.
