Arcueil, a village of France, department of - Seine, on the Bievre, 3 1/2 m. S. of Paris; pop. in 1866, 5,024. It is celebrated for an aqueduct constructed there by the Roman emperor Julian during his abode in Paris, to convey water from the Bievre to his palace. Remains of this are still seen near the modern aqueduct, constructed by Maria de' Medici in 1618, to bring water to supply the gardens and the palace of the Luxembourg and the fountains of Paris. Arcueil was for a long time the residence of the chemist Berthollet, whose friends, meeting here for scientific study under the name of societe d'Arcueil, published several volumes of memoirs. The house of Berthollet is now a college of that branch of the Dominican order founded by Lacordaire.
