The Axe majeur is a defining feature of Cergy-Pontoise, a huge garden and work of art running three kilometers through the city and pointing towards Paris. It is composed of 12 stations, each one an invitation to explore and to take a voyage. The stations include a tower, columns, themed gardens, an island, and a pyramid. Dani Karavan, the artist, creates monumental sculpture around the world and dedicates his artwork to peace.
