Deuil-Montmagny: station history
Served by: Transilien H.
Did you know?
A Val-d'Oise station opened in 1877 by the Compagnie du Nord, on the Épinay-Villetaneuse to Le Tréport-Mers line, at kilometre point 11.529. It is the first stop after the Épinay-Villetaneuse junction, before Groslay. It is served by line H, about thirteen minutes from Paris-Nord. Its Nord-type building originally had a low wing of four bays with a wooden canopy.
Anecdote
Deuil's church of Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Eugène has a very light Gothic choir with an ambulatory, and Romanesque capitals showing Daniel in the lions' den and Cain killing Abel. In August 1944 a V2 rocket hit it, partly destroying it and killing fourteen people, including the parish priest. In Deuil, the Château de la Chevrette, which hosted Madame d'Épinay, Rousseau and Diderot, was demolished in 1786; only the gateway and the lodge remain.
