Hotels Argenteuil France Cheap Argenteuil Hotels GuideWhatever industrialisation Argenteuil suffers in the future, it will always be the home of the bridges and waterways immortalised by France's 19th-century artist avant-garde. Now a northwestern Paris suburb, it was once the obsession of the impressionists, in particular Claude Monet, who moved here in 1871. For the next two decades or so, it underwent a profound change - from rural country village to bustling town, due almost totally to its new rail link with the capital. The impressionists captured this change; and the sights featured in Monet's The Highway Bridge... and The Promenade at Argenteuil can still be seen today, if a little more modernised. Interestingly though, even contemporary Argenteuil remains characterised by its buildings of old. They include the Notre Dame Abbey; La Cave Dimiere (The Demiere Cellar), a 13th-century underground treasury, which has now been transformed into a concert venue for lively jazz performances; and La Chapelle St Jean, which dates from the 11th-century and is one of the region's first examples of the Romanesque. Today, the town centre is served by three stops on the Paris RER subway system (Argenteuil, Val d'argenteuil and Gare de Grande Ceinture) as well as being handily situated just 25 miles southwest of Charles de Gaulle Airport.
