This video is the first in a series including:

- A journey with:
. The hillsides (Human Rights Gardens Pierre Mendès France) and the Chemin de l'Oise (Vauréal - Cergy village): crossways to the major axis towards the Oise.
. The way to Port Cergy,
. The last route ends at Neuville-Université station via the banks of the Oise.
- And a 3rd double route from Vauréal to the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye via the banks or the heights of the Oise to the confluence of the Oise and the Seine at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine , which will allow you to join other routes on the banks of the Seine or in the forest.

Description :
- The main route is 9.5 km for a simple tour of the ponds or much more because many alternatives are possible but you can also do less: count 1.6 km one way from the station to the first pond and 600m less (and less than height difference) if you are only doing the hills.
- This circuit, which begins on the height with beautiful views, will make you discover the neoclassical architecture of Cergy Saint-Christophe and will take you through the major axis and its 12 stations (marked from S1 to S12).
- After an unmissable bright red footbridge overhanging the Oise, you will reach the ponds of Cergy with its varied landscapes and the leisure center that you can cross freely.
- The ponds are in a loop of the Oise and, on the leisure base, you can take a circuit along the ponds or the Oise with its barges.
- For those who have chosen public transport, you can return to Cergy or continue towards Neuville-Université station, possibly making a detour via Port Cergy (details in the next video).
The routes of the first 2 courses are displayed in this video of the ponds (the following video will focus on the path with the hills and the Oise then passing through Port Cergy and ending at Neuville-University).
The set offers many possible routes with connections between the 2 routes.
The water points, restaurants, the nautical base, rides for children and various paid activities (pedal boats, the beach, zip lines, tree climbing, surfing, ski lift, kayaking, rafting on a basin, tennis) are near the ponds but at opposite the red walkway.
-----------------
Drops:
About 80m from the start with varied slopes on a little less than 1km from the plateau of the Place de la Colonnes Hubert Renaud (small descent of 5% of 15m towards the esplanade of Paris then stairs then with a steep slope of 37% ).
The rest has little elevation (banks and ponds) except for a few avoidable landscaped hills in the leisure base.
-----------------
Access :
- Various car parks possible in town or on the leisure island (see overview and maps).
- RER-A or SNCF-L start at Cergy Saint-Christophe, end at Neuville-Université station or return to Cergy.
- Bikes allowed on the leisure island.
