Boissy-Saint-Léger: station history
Served by: RER A.
Did you know?
A RER A station in the Val-de-Marne, the terminus of the A2 branch at the east of the line. It opened on 9 July 1874, as the terminus of the Paris-Bastille to Marles-en-Brie line, known as the Vincennes line. When the line was extended to Brie-Comte-Robert in 1875, then to Verneuil-l'Étang in 1892, the station lost its terminus status; it regained it after passenger traffic was abandoned between Boissy and Verneuil. The station has two entrances, place de la Gare and the Haie Griselle district, towards the Boissy 2 shopping centre.
Anecdote
The station was closed from 4 to 8 August 2007 to install two new railway bridges, linked to the diversion of the national road 19. It was redeveloped in 2008: the hall was restructured, the exit to the Boissy 2 shopping centre reopened and two lifts installed. The regional master plan, the SDRIF-E 2040, proposes making it the future terminus of metro line 18.
