Argis is a small town, also called a commune, located in the eastern part of France. It's part of the Ain department and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. In 2009, about 421 people lived there. The people who live in Argis are called Argissiens.

Long ago, during the Middle Ages (a time in history between about 500 AD and 1500 AD), there was a castle in Argis. Sadly, this castle doesn't exist anymore. Argis is also known for its two beautiful cascades, which are waterfalls. They are called the cascade de la côte and the cascade de la Pissoire.
