Cergy-Saint-Christophe station (French: Gare de Cergy-Saint-Christophe) is a French railway station in the city of Cergy, France. The station opened on 29 September 1985 along with Cergy-Préfecture station. It was, until 1994, the terminus for RER's line A3 but is now the penultimate stop.
The station building is a large glass structure placed above the line at street level and comprises a metal and glass cylinder and Europe's largest clock. The architects were Martine and Philippe Deslandes, and the twin clock mechanisms were provided by Huchez.[4]
Buildings have soon followed the station and the area is now Cergy's second shopping centre. From the station forecourt a pedestrian street leads to the plaza of the Axe Majeur from which is a view of the Vallée de l'Oise and of Paris. The axe is aligned with Paris' Champ de Mars.
