About the location

Allée couverte des Déserts

68 rue des Déserts 95100 Argenteuil

Île-de-France

The covered path of the Deserts (-3500 to -2300 BC) is a collective burial of the civilization "Seine-Oise-Marne" dating from the recent Neolithic. Excavated from its discovery in 1867 on the Vachon hill, the covered alley attests to the sedentarization and socialization of populations. Constituting the oldest existing trace of human settlement in Argenteuil, it is classified as a Historical Monument since 1943.
