This colossal monument is tricky to describe as it’s several things rolled in to one. The Axe Majeur was designed by Dani Karavan at the time that the Cergy-Pontoise new town was coming together. Beginning with a belvedere tower it’s a dramatic set of sculptures extending along a straight line more than three kilometres in length. A laser beam from...
A train station wouldn’t normally feature in a list of essential sights, but the Gare Saint-Christophe is special: It was inaugurated in 1985 and encapsulates the bold design of this new town. The clock above the entrance is the largest in Europe, a humungous glass cylinder ten metres in diameter and conceived by Philippe and Martine Deslandes, col...
The Impressionist Camille Pissarro loved Pontoise so much he lived here for 17 years. This museum in a red brick Louis XIII mansion on the plateau above the river only has one Pissarro work. But this piece depicts the riverside at La Roche-Guyon on the Seine so is a wonderful souvenir of the time when the Impressionists escaped Paris to paint the r...
A lovely 15th-century Gothic mansion is the venue for Pontoise’s town museum. The building was commissioned by the Bishop of Rouen for the Vicar of Pontoise, and is in great shape, with corner turrets and dormer windows . The exhibitions inside are varied, with 20th-century art and historic artefacts. There’s quite a large exhibition of the Constru...
The oldest Carmelite convent in France was founded in 1605 just outside the centre of Pontoise but now engulfed by the streets of the new town. The monastery is decorated with art from the 17th century, like the altar hanging made with embroidered red silk, a Spanish-style lace altar cloth and an array of paintings. There’s also a precious reliquar...
Next to the river Pontoise’s architecture is several centuries older, and there’s an ensemble of small sights to add to your itinerary. Most of these are closed to the public, but should still be seen from the outside. The Moulin des Patis is an old watermill that was painted by Cézanne. The Hôpital des Enfermés is a historic monument with an 18th-...
Beneath the old part of Pontoise by the Oise River is an underworld of cellars, vaults, tunnels, quarries and caves. You can get down to the see them every Sunday on a guided tour led by the tourist office. They were first dug for chalk and limestone in the 1100s and were expanded up to the 1600s. You’ll descend with a guide who will open up innocu...
Although Pontoise’s main church was completed around the turn of the 17th century, it was built over a 13th-century basilica destroyed in the French Wars of Religion. The replacement was endowed with a set of fine painting from the 17th and 18th centuries. The church was restored in the 1800s, when a the floor was laid with concrete. And to do this...
If you’re sporty in July and August you need only cross the Oise to a gigantic activity centre. On a meander in the river is a 250-hectare site with some 150 lakes. When the weather’s good you’ll have a massive swimming area, combined with facilities for watersports like white-water rafting, canoeing and sailing. On land there’s even more, includin...
The best thing about this church next-door in Cergy is the part that will grab your attention as soon as you arrive: It’s the Renaissance portal, which is from a section of the church that was never completed. So all that stands is a gateway leading to a courtyard that was meant to be the new church’s interior. Rising above this is the Romanesque b...
