The subject of a celebrated painting by Claude Monet, the Bassin d’Argenteuil, close to the Stade Olympique de Colombes, hosted the Paris 1924 rowing competitions.
Although the construction of the Genevilliers port has led to an increase in traffic on this stretch of the river Seine, it is still used for rowing today, in particular by the COM Argenteuil club, founded in 1965.
