Avenue du Président Kennedy: station history
Served by: RER C.
Did you know?
A station in the 16th arrondissement of Paris served by RER line C (branch C1), at 37 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 3.062 of the Ermont - Eaubonne to Champ-de-Mars line. Opened in 1904, after the line's inauguration in 1900, it was then called "Halte du quai de Passy". It stands on the old Boulainvilliers connection and was originally served by trains linking Saint-Lazare station to the Champ de Mars station.
Anecdote
The station's vaults were tiled like those of a metro station. The halt closed in 1924. It then served as a town office for luggage check-in, and was rented until 1986 to a Portuguese friendship association. It felt the effects of the Seine flood of 1910 and joined RER C in 1988. RATP bus lines 70 and 72 and, at night, Noctilien N12 and N61 serve it.
