A mammoth 30-year project, the Axe Majeur is a vast work of contemporary sculpture by Dani Karavan. It is made up of 12 “stations” extending in a dead straight line for more than three kilometres, and is the modern emblem for Cergy-Pontoise. Each station is a different point of interest, whether it’s the riverbanks where the Impressionists painted,...
You couldn’t pick a more refined setting for this museum of art and history. The venue is the former home of Pontoise’s Grand Vicar, and was commissioned by the Archbishop of Rouen at the end of the 15th century. The art inside is from the 20th century and has pieces by Matisse, Legros, Signovert and Jean Arp, as well as those of Otto Freundlich, a...
As we mentioned in the intro, many painters came to set up their easels next to the Oise in Cergy and Pontoise. But few were as ardent in their love for this location as the Impressionist Camille Pissarro, who lived in Pontoise for 17 years and often painted the water here. There is one painting by Pissarro, Barges à La Roche-Guyon, combined with n...
The fine old church in the centre of old Pontoise was elevated to cathedral status in the 1960s. It’s was first finished in the 12th century and then expanded in the 1400s and 1500s, so there’s a melange of styles, from Romanesque to Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance. The oldest sections are the nave and the apse, from the 1100s, while the photogen...
While Pissarro and Cézanne were attracted to the light on the banks of the Oise in the late-1800s, the new town of Cergy-Pontoise inspired filmmakers like Éric Rohmer and Henri Verneuil in the 20th century. Both directors used the town’s modern architecture as backdrops for their movies. Most famous is Rohmer’s Boyfriends and Girlfriends from 1987,...
Bordering the Oise is the old core of Cergy, which was here long before the town’s rapid expansion in the 1960s. Set around the Church of Saint-Christophe are a few venerable streets that are quite distinct from Cergy-Pontoise’s modern architecture. You can see the old Neo-Renaissance town hall, and a string of quaint 19th-century farmhouses. Among...
Before the new town was created, Pontoise, high above the River was a historic settlement of around 10,000, and once the capital of the County of Vexin. And as with the centre of Cergy the old quarter remains, and here holds 12 French “monuments historiques”. One of these is the Carmelite Convent, dating to 1605 and the oldest still running in Fran...
Entering this church in the old part of Cergy is an odd but unforgettable experience: You’ll pass through a fine Renaissance portico, accessing a section of the building that was pulled down in the early 1900s, so it now stands alone as a sort of archway. This opens onto a courtyard, where you can study the tower, which is as old as the 12th centur...
Tucked into a meander on the Oise is a gigantic 250-hectare site set aside for watersports and all kinds of other outdoor recreation. The six pools here are man-made and were laid out in the 1960s when the new town was being built. And to this day it remains a superb place for the Cergy-Pontoise’s residents to be active or relax in the summer month...
There’s a little underground world below Pontoise, but you have to be organised if you want to see it. There are tours on Sundays and on occasional weekdays depending on the season, but you need to book ahead. These are arranged by the tourist office and will beckon you down tunnels to ancient quarries, staircases hewn from the rock, cellars, wells...
