Estimated journey times
The Vélodrome National in Montigny-le-Bretonneux opened in 2014 and hosted track cycling at the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Nearby, the angular BMX Stadium extends the complex. In the new-town districts, architect Ricardo Bofill’s Les Arcades and Le Viaduc frame the Sourderie lake with monumental pale façades.
The Île de loisirs de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines combines a large lake, woodland and a protected bird reserve. Beyond the modern districts, the wider area includes the medieval Commanderie des Templiers and the Port-Royal-des-Champs site, reflecting its older landscape and religious history.
