Pontoise, Medieval commune in Val-d'Oise, France
Located 28 kilometers north of Paris, Pontoise extends along the right bank of the Oise River at the intersection of major transport routes.
Founded during Roman times as Pontisara, the settlement developed into a strategic position controlling the road between Paris and the Norman territories.
The Cathedral Saint-Maclou demonstrates architectural evolution through centuries, containing both 12th-century elements and Renaissance period modifications.
The Pontoise station provides direct connections to Paris through RER line C and suburban train services, with regular departures throughout the day.
The city maintains seven underground passages carved into limestone, forming a network of cellars that extends beneath the historical center.
