This Auvers-sur-Oise institution was moved a few months ago to the Place de la Gare, allowing it to be placed along the Chemin des Peintres. The Caverne aux livres - since it is indeed the Caverne aux livres - has existed for more than 30 years, and it is impossible not to know someone who frequents it here: in old wagons are indeed numerous shelves containing hundreds of second-hand books. This unique place welcomes the public from Thursday to Sunday, and offers references covering a wide range of topics.

It's one of France's most densely populated shopping areas, and its name is familiar to many Parisians: Patte d'Oie d'Herblay. Along the departmental road 14, dozens of retailers line up one after the other for several kilometers: clothing, restaurants, as well as many home furnishings chains and a fewoutlet stores. Last but not least, the Val Parisis agglomeration community has begun work to revitalize the area.

Situated along the Seine, this attractive three-storey art gallery offers a wealth of possibilities for contemporary art. From photography to pottery, sculpture, painting and ceramics, the range of possibilities is vast. If you would like to apply to exhibit in the gallery, please visit the Town Hall website. Last but not least, for locals, the space is also a regular venue for a variety of themed events.

For a number of years now, the Val Parisis urban community has been developing an efficient network of cycle paths: all that's missing, if need be, is your bike! On 500 m² of floor space, you'll find one of the widest ranges of bicycles on the market, from city bikes and electric bikes to folding bikes and children's bikes, as well as cargo bikes. Accessories are plentiful, and the repair service is highly efficient.

Easily accessible, since it's located right in the heart of the Patte d'Oie shopping zone, Culture Vélo has one of its largest stores in Herblay. Aimed at both beginners and experienced cyclists, the store offers a vast choice of bikes: electric and non-electric, racing and city, with the option of buying a wide range of accessories. You'll even find home trainers for dry pedaling! You'll also find an excellent repair shop. Promotions are recent, and there's no shortage of great initiatives.
