Located in the heart of Cergy, in Val d’Oise, LES 3 FONTAINES is one of the leading shopping centers in France. In 2022, this emblematic venue is undergoing a transformation, with new spaces and 200 brands in all. Explanations from Remy Ibe, Director of Innovation and Marketing.
Transformation with the city
LES 3 FONTAINES opened its doors in 1972 in the center of Cergy, and has always been a The main player in the city (https://www.3fontaines.com/) and its dynamics. When the conglomerate decided to modernize and develop with new housing, a large student center, head offices and renovation of the station, the shopping center took the opportunity to reassert its position as the heart of the city through a dual renovation and renovation project. LES 3 FONTAINES follows in Cergy’s footsteps: after 4 years of operation, the center is writing a new chapter in local history.
An extension full of surprises
Date fixed: As of March 30, the shopping center gives access to an additional 33,000 square meters. Among the 72 new stores: Lego, Fnac (double-height window), Maisons du Monde, Stradivarius and Berksha, but also high-end stores such as Tommy Hilfiger, Jott, Superdry and Rituals.
Entertainment plays an equally important role with the recent opening of the Virtual Espace (accessed from 2 level balconies), the virtual reality game room and the famous arcade La Tête Dans les Nuages, which will be located in the expansion.
New brands have already moved to the current center a few months ago, such as JD Sports or Zara, with an area of 3,610 square meters and an ultra-modern facade.
Shopping, but not only …
During the renovations, LES 3 FONTAINES used city codes to create new spaces for rest, services or events. Visitors can take advantage of the benches, in a green environment, to take a break from shopping, and to discover the events organized by the center in the Agora, a kind of public square dedicated to entertainment and sharing.
Bekesh? The Food Court DISTRICT, a large restaurant space with modern decor, has been welcoming all gourmets since September 2020. It has also earned the premium Janus du brand due to its new architecture and industrial design. There are 15 restaurants open for lunch and dinner with fast food giants as well as local eateries and international cuisine.
Optimal access and celebrations
The center is ideally located in the center of Cergy and very close to the RER station. But many visitors like to come by car: after a period of work that forced LES 3 FONTAINES to limit parking spaces, the new car park now accommodates 3,700 cars with easy access.
To celebrate its revival, the shopping center organizes a 5-day festival, with entertainment for all ages and tastes: stand-up, student party, cooking competition with chefs, and a local scene with music and live performances. On April 3, the music star, who has passed on Eurovision and show The Voice, will attend the show to wrap up the festivities.
