Île des Impressionnistes, River island in Chatou, France
The island stretches along the Seine River between Chatou and Rueil-Malmaison, connected by bridges and featuring wooded areas along its banks.
In the late 18th century, several natural islands merged through dike construction to improve water flow for the Machine de Marly supplying Versailles.
The Maison Fournaise restaurant became a meeting point for painters like Renoir, Monet, and writers including Guy de Maupassant during the 1860s.
Visitors can reach the island via RER A from Paris to Chatou station, with the Parc des Impressionnistes located five minutes from the station.
The Fournaise Museum presents an exhibition with holograms of Renoir, allowing visitors to experience the artistic heritage of the nineteenth century.

The Island of the Impressionists is of course linked to the painters of the 19th century but also to significant events throughout the year. The famous Ham Fair that brings together many antique dealers, the electro music festival (Electrick Park festival), and the pony club where younger ones practice. A nice place to stroll and perhaps enjoy a meal (Maison Fournaise).
