Maurecourt: station history
Served by: Transilien J.
Did you know?
A station on Transilien line J (Saint-Lazare), on the Paris-Saint-Lazare to Mantes-Station line via Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, in the Yvelines. It is run by the SNCF and located 27.8 km from Paris-Saint-Lazare station. Despite its name, it lies in the territory of the commune of Andrésy, not that of Maurecourt, whose boundary is a few hundred metres to the north-east. Maurecourt was a hamlet that depended on Andrésy and had no church before 1531, when the Bishop of Paris authorised a chapel.
Anecdote
The station is served by buses 20, 41, 72 and 91 of the Poissy - Les Mureaux network, and at night by Noctilien line N155. The church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette in Maurecourt was blessed in 1571; its bell tower was entirely rebuilt in 1853-1855, and in 1866 the diocesan architect Hippolyte Blondel replaced the porch and built the current turret.
