Anecdote
The station entrance is on a bridge above the tracks. The "RER E Est+" project, first planned for 2025 and then postponed to 2031, calls for it to be demolished and rebuilt, with a central platform, a side platform, three tracks and a footbridge with lifts. The Yvris leisure park lies to the north and the bois Saint-Martin to the east and south. RATP buses 310, 312 and 320 serve it.
