A green heritage

Among the various urban projects to come, the reconquest of natural areas and biodiversity conservation represent top environmental issues.

The train

Two stations serve Argenteuil with trains going to the Paris Saint Lazare station, one in the city centre and one in Val-d'Argent. It takes only 11 minutes from the central station to reach Paris.
The city centre station is also the terminus of about twenty bus lines that link, in minutes, Argenteuil to Bezons, Sannois, Enghien-les-Bains, la Défense, Nanterre, Cergy-Pontoise and Saint-Denis.
In 2011, a trolley line will arrive at the gates of Argenteuil joined, shortly after (by 2017) by the Tangentielle, a new trolley-train line. These new transportations will allow Argenteuil’s inhabitant to move even faster in Ile-de-France, from east to west.

Argenteuil is working to create a green corridor throughout the town, from the plain of Argenteuil, to the Park du Cerisier, through the park du Marais and the banks of the Seine.

As a former agricultural town, Argenteuil perpetuates the memory of the cultivations that made its reputation like asparagus, figs and wine. In the eighteenth century, the city has the largest vineyard in the region and is the first wine-producing city in France in terms of yield per hectare. Today, the city continues to maintain its agricultural heritage, in particular through its vineyard. In the late 90s, the city bought the vineyards of the last winegrower, which municipal services continue to grow near the plain of Parisis. Each year, many people are coming to participate in the harvest. Pinot noir and Charbonnay are the varieties grown there.

The road

The A86 and the A15 brings the city closer to neighbouring large built-up areas. Thus, it takes approximately fifteen minutes to get from Argenteuil to Porte Maillot.
