Served by: RER D.

Did you know?

A RER line D station in Seine-et-Marne, on the Paris-Lyon to Marseille-Saint-Charles line, at kilometre point 37.692 and an altitude of 78 metres, between Savigny-le-Temple - Nandy and Le Mée. Its building, designed for the PLM company, is the work of the architect François-Alexis Cendrier. The page gives an opening in 1855, but this date is flagged « citation needed », so it is unverified. In 1866, a one-way ticket Paris-Cesson cost 4.25 francs in first class, 3.20 in second and 2.35 in third.

Anecdote

The station building was closed to be made accessible to people with reduced mobility. The platforms and underpass received three lifts, but they were still not working in 2023. A residents' demonstration, mentioned in a 2017 reference, demanded a more accessible station. The station offers a free car park of 300 to 500 places, and at night Noctilien line N132 serves it.
