context_page_description: Cergy is a commune in the northwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is located 27.8 km from the centre of Paris, in the "new town" of Cergy-Pontoise, created in the 1960s, of which it is the central and most populated commune.
  Although neighbouring Pontoise is the official préfecture of the Val-d'Oise département, the préfecture building and administration, as well as the department council, are located inside the commune of Cergy, which is regarded as the de facto capital of Val-d'Oise. The sous-préfecture building and administration, on the other hand, are located inside the commune of Pontoise.
context_section_description: The town was used as a filming location for Henri Verneuil's film I... comme Icare released in 1979, starring Yves Montand. The EDF-GDF tower designed by architect Renzo Moro is the building from which the shots were fired to assassinate president Marc Jarry.
  The country that the movie depicts is not named, although the United States is perhaps suggested.
  The filmmakers chose the modern and innovative architecture of the new city to avoid depicting any particular country.
  The town was also the location of the 1987 film My Girlfriend's Boyfriend directed by Eric Rohmer.
