a wonderful church and another royal town of France, very easy to reach from Paris even by train, RER A leaves you just five mins from church,and city center as well as sncf trains from gare St Lazare.
The main element here is an old stone baptismal shell that is said to be the one Louis IX was baptised ,the future Saint Louis.
The interior is very nice as usual in France, and recently clean and renovated.
other things to see is the distillerie of Noyau, and the toys museum (musée des jouets) , as well as the villa savoye de le Corbusier architecture futuristic house. More hre at tourist office

I have here many times on business meetings and the covered market looking for goodies as well. Another nice stop on your way to Normandy on the A13 too.

GReat market in an old slaughterhouse, now the covered market sells good beef,seafood,fish,poultry, you name it, then outside you have a flea market type with the rest,all across from Hotel de Ville/theater,and walking distance from train station; great for Fridays and SUndays mornings.
Done from 1825-1832 and renovated by Baltard in 1852 (of the Halles of Paris et al.)
What to buy: anything you come for in a flea and food market
What to pay: best prices ,better than Paris

wonderful institutions in Poissy, the Chateau is not visited, but you can go into the park,and walks its lustrous trees and shapely trims, wonderful small lake, and little farm. You go into the parc and its just beauty looking down on escalated hills towards the road N13 and the river Seine.
just outside city limits, but can be walk from train station in about 15 minutes.
