About Argenteuil
A large suburb northwest of Paris with significantly lower housing costs than the city, connected by train in about 15 minutes to Gare Saint-Lazare. It has a diverse, working-class character — not polished, but functional and affordable for Paris-area living. The Seine riverfront and proximity to La Defense business district are practical draws.
