Argenteuil

Located 12.3 kilometers from central Paris, Argenteuil extends along the Seine River with residential neighborhoods and industrial sectors serving northern Paris region.

The settlement originated in the 7th century with the establishment of a convent, later developing into a monastery that remained active until the French Revolution.

Claude Monet created numerous paintings of Argenteuil between 1871 and 1878, depicting the Seine River and local landscapes during the Impressionist period.

Two train stations connect Argenteuil to Paris Saint-Lazare station with regular services operating from early morning until late evening throughout the week.

The area produced high-quality gypsum, extracted from underground quarries, which workers used to manufacture plaster for construction throughout Paris region.
