Cergy Pontoise Fiori Fiorista

Situated northwest of Paris on the River Oise, Pontoise is the perfect destination for those who enjoy walking while at the same time taking in the culture and history of an area. Being proud to have the largest Parisian marina Port Cergy offers a lively and vibrant seafront atmosphere with cafes, bars and terraces to sit and watch the world go by. While away a few hours delving into the museums and art galleries and view historic and modern collections by artists such as Pisarro, Piette, Cezanne and Signac. The Tavet Delacour Museum is home to many exhibits of the town’s history as well as a nineteenth century collection of landscape paintings. If Pisarro’s peaceful landscapes have instilled a yearning to enjoy some green living why not head to the Vexin Regional National Park?
This area of outstanding natural beauty will thrill any walker with its forests, meadows, hills and rivers. Back in Pontoise an exquisite find is the Garden of the Five Senses. Here the visually impaired can identify plants such as lavender by their scent and by reading the labels written in braille. The keen gardener will think nothing of making a 45 minute journey to nearby Chantilly to
the flower show which is held annually in May. Here many varieties of orchid and carnivorous plants can be seen along with roses and stately lupins.
