History of Cergy Pontoise

Cergy Pontoise, a new town in France

Construction of this new French city, Cergy Pontoise, began in 1970, centered around two communes: Cergy and Pontoise. It was the intercommunal syndicate of France that decided to establish this new city in the north-west of Île-de-France. Consequently, the village of Cergy became the heart of the sprawling city of Cergy Pontoise. Its construction was officially sanctioned on August 11, 1972. Until 2012, it comprised twelve communes, but then three other communes were added: Méry-sur-Oise, Boissy-l'Aillerie, and Pierrelaye. The creation of this new city continued until December 31, 2002, when the EPA was dissolved. One distinctive characteristic of this city is that many of its district names are non-historical and chosen by its college students. Examples include the Avenue du Centaure and Rue du Passeur d'Étoiles, Chemin de la Surprise, and Passage des Neiges d'Antan. Requesting a car service allows you to trace the history of the commune.

Cergy Pontoise: its urbanism and architecture

A network was built to protect the young schoolchildren who walk to school, thereby rejecting car traffic around all the outskirts of the blocks. Initially, there were only pedestrian walkways via footbridges. In the city center, the segregation of various types of traffic was a feature of Cergy Pontoise as all forms of traffic were on a slab. Regarding its architecture, the first building constructed in this city was the pyramid-shaped Val-d'Oise Prefecture's office, designed by architect Henry Bernard. Cergy Pontoise is also known for the Axe Majeur, which is considered its symbol. This 3200-meter monument was designed by sculptor Dani Karavan in 1980, located at the center of the new city. It consists of 12 stations, with the Belvédère tower at its center. Furthermore, several new buildings, including the tower of the Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Company (3M) and that of Electricité De France (EDF), have been constructed.
