Asnières-sur-Seine (French pronunciation: [ɑnjɛʁ syʁ sɛn] ⓘ) is a commune in the Hauts-de-Seine department and Île-de-France region of north-central France.

It lies on the left bank of the river Seine, some eight kilometres from the centre of Paris in the north-western suburbs of the French capital.

The name was recorded for the first time in a papal bull of 1158 – as Asnerias, from Medieval Latin asinaria, meaning "donkey farm".

The commune is divided between two cantons (departmental constituencies): Lesieur – a major producer of cooking and table oils and part of the Avril Group – has its headquarters in Asnières.

Finally, the city counts, with the Molosses, an American football club, created in 1992, evolving in Casque d'Or (D2), 2-time vice-champion of France of D1 (1999, and 2014).

Between 1884 and 1886 Seurat painted Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte, using a new technique – which came to be known as pointillism – of forming an image from patterns of tiny coloured dots.

Influenced by impressionism and pointillism, he modified his traditional style and used vivid colour, shorter brushstrokes, and perspective to engage the viewer.

[14][15] In Asnières, within walking distance of his brother Theo's flat in Montmartre, van Gogh painted parks, cafés, restaurants, and the river.
