Les Baconnets: station history
Served by: RER B.
Did you know?
A station in Antony opened in 1969 by the RATP, on the former Sceaux line, between Fontaine-Michalon and Massy-Verrières, and served by RER line B. It was opened to serve a new housing development straddling Massy (Essonne) and Antony. The main entrance is on rue des Garennes.
Anecdote
The RER C tracks lie only a few metres from the station. In the project to develop the Massy – Valenton line for intersector TGV trains, an extension of the station was studied. Its distance to Fontaine-Michalon is the shortest on line B. RATP buses 119 and 197 (the latter for school service) and line 3 of Vallée Sud Bus serve it.
