Meudon: station history
Served by: Transilien N.
Did you know?
A station in the Hauts-de-Seine opened on 10 September 1840 with the opening of the track between Paris-Montparnasse and Versailles-Rive-Gauche. In 1936, the original station building was replaced by a new one by the architect Jean Philippot, who also designed the stations of Vanves - Malakoff and Trouville - Deauville. It draws on the aesthetic of ocean liners, emblematic of Art Deco. The station has a central platform and two side platforms framing four tracks.
Anecdote
Passengers change platform by an underpass. The station is 87 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 7.550 of the Paris-Montparnasse to Brest line, between Clamart and Bellevue. It is listed in the general inventory of twentieth-century heritage, and repainting works took place in 2017. With no lift or escalators, it is not accessible to people with reduced mobility. No bus line serves it.
