A station in the Yvelines on the Saint-Cyr to Surdon line, at kilometre point 24.258 and an altitude of 155 metres, between Saint-Cyr and Villepreux - Les Clayes.

Anecdote
A 1932 station-halt survives, although it is no longer used for railway service; the municipality is studying ways to give it new life. In 1972, at the time of electrification and the sharp rise in population that began in the 1950s, a double building offering five times the floor area was added, and an underpass replaced a footbridge linking the commune with the Bois-d'Arcy plateau. The station was refitted in 2010.
