==History==
On 31 May 31, 1875, part of the territory of Chatou was detached and merged with a part of the territory of [[Le Pecq]] and a part of the territory of [[Croissy-sur-Seine]] to create the commune of [[Le Vésinet]]. It boasts many bourgeois mansions of every kind of architecture and owned by private individuals.

Chatou is also the host of the [[Maison Fournaise]], a meeting place for [[Impressionist]] painters in the past. It was a place where [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir]] painted numerous pieces (portraits of the Fournaise family, surrounding landscapes etc.), most notably the ''[[Luncheon of the Boating Party|Déjeuner des canotiers (Luncheon of the Boating Party)]]'' in 1881. The painting is today part of [[the Phillips Collection]] in Washington, D.C.
 
On August 25, 1944, in Chatou, the [[nazis]] shot 27 people, civilians and members of the [[French Resistance]]. This event is today known as the "Massacre des 27 Martyrs".<ref name="ACNV-20160702">{{cite web |author=Staff |title=Actulites Associatives: La Vie Du Patrimoine Et De L'Histoire (in French) |url=http://chatounotreville.hautetfort.com/les-27-fusilles-de-chatou/ |date=July 2, 2016 |work=Association Chatou Notre Ville |access-date=November 11, 2016 }}</ref>
