PONTOISE LEISURES

THE BANKS OF OISE
From the limit of Auvers-sur-Oise to the large park of Larris, the edges of Oise preserve all their charm. The arranged banks allow a pleasant walk.

On border of Viosne
The garden of the Washerwomen. This pleasant park, dominated by the slope, borders Viosne, between mill and laundrette. The dead end of the feeding trough makes it possible to discover several laundrettes.

THE FOUNTAIN OF LOVE
This tower probably dates back to the end of the XVlllth century. Its name was associated with a romantic legend: whereas it goes to this fountain, place of secret appointment with her lover, a girl finds this one assassinated by order of his father. Desperate, she enters to the convent and will finish her life there.

THE GARDEN OF THE LIMETREE
This large park is located on a part of the old ditches which protected the ramparts of Pontoise.

The scentsand the impressionists
Motives for Pissarro and his friends, many scents allow the visitors to find the charm of the countryside downtown.

THE GARDEN OF THE FIVE SENSES
the garden of the Pissarro museum is partly arranged for the badly conspicuous people, and the visitors are invited to touch and feel the numerous aromatic plants or equipped with very particular textures.
