Culture

The main construction phases of the Collégiale Notre-Dame span the 11th, 12th, 14th and 19th centuries. It has been protected as a historic monument since 1840; it was listed under the 1840 list. Its significant sculpture collection includes works, some of which date from the 14th century.

Since 2026, the Maison de Fer in Poissy has housed the Galerie d’Art et d’Histoire, which displays around 50 works from the collections of the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire. The architectural and cultural tour of the Maison de Fer takes visitors through Poissy’s main architectural landmarks and traces the history of the city from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The Galerie d’Art et d’Histoire presents the history of Poissy in five thematic sections: medieval Poissy; a city shaped by agriculture and commerce; the Seine as an important transport route for Poissy; an area devoted to art and recreation; and industrial and modern Poissy.

Parks and Outdoor Activities

Parc Meissonier is a ten-hectare English-style park with a pond, a rose garden and dozens of plant species. Throughout its history, Parc Meissonier has been the park of a royal monastery, a garden appreciated by poets, agricultural land and a recreational estate.

La Charmille covers 16 hectares on the edge of the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and along the south-eastern boundary of the municipality. La Charmille has a cross-country running course as well as a track for roller skating and inline skating.

The cultural sites, park areas and paths can be weighed up as different focal points alongside one another. Combining free exploration, a cultural tour and a set route also changes the rhythm of your own planning.

Family and Collection

The Musée du Jouet de Poissy’s collection of games and toys ranges from antiquity to the 2000s. It comprises more than 600 objects, 7% of which are on display.
