Did you know?
A station in the Hauts-de-Seine served by the Versailles and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines branches of RER line C, at kilometre point 6.889 of the line linking Invalides station to Versailles-Château-Rive-Gauche, a line meant to reinforce the Paris-Montparnasse – Versailles-Chantiers link. It was due to open before the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1900; it was finally completed in 1901, under the name Issy - Ville. RATP bus lines 123 and 190 serve it and, at night, Noctilien line N160.
Anecdote
An extension of metro line 12 from the Mairie d'Issy station is envisaged. Grand Paris Express line 15 is to serve the site, with a station planned at the intersection of avenue de Verdun and avenue Aristide-Briand, linked to the station by an underground corridor of about a hundred metres; its platforms will be 21 metres deep, and the design is entrusted to the agency Brunet Saunier Architecture. The northern terminus of the tram line 10 extension could be located at place Léon-Blum.
