Cergy Pontoise
Cergy Pontoise was created in the 1960s in order to regulate and organise the rapid expansion of the Parisian suburbs. Although it is often referred to as a city, Cergy Pontoise is actually a collection of twelve communes. It lies to the north-west of Paris itself, and has a huge population of over 183,000. It is a thriving centre for industry and commerce, and offers a superb quality of life for residents as it lacks for nothing in terms of facilities, culture, heritage and entertainment.
