Did you know?
A Seine-et-Marne station located in the commune of Saâcy-sur-Marne, near Nanteuil-sur-Marne, on the Paris to Strasbourg line. The provisional Nanteuil station opened on 26 August 1849, with the Meaux - Épernay section of the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Strasbourg, succeeded in 1854 by the Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est. The State first had temporary wooden buildings put up, for economy and speed; the permanent station building, a "standard type 7", was built later by the Est company. In 1936, a suburban service ran six daily return trips on weekdays during winter.
Anecdote
It is the last station on the line located in Île-de-France: beyond it, Île-de-France fares no longer apply. In August 1944, the railway bridge over the Marne having been destroyed, prisoners of the convoy known as the "57000" had to walk to this station; a commemorative plaque was placed on the façade on 24 April 1993, a ceremony is held every year on 16 August, and a memorial wagon was installed on 12 October 2011. In 1991, the station served as a setting for the film Céline by Jean-Claude Brisseau.
