Nogent-sur-Marne: station history
Served by: RER A.
Did you know?
An underground RER line A station, opened on 14 December 1969 by RATP with the first section of the line. It replaces the former Nogent - Vincennes station, opened in 1859 by the Compagnie de l'Est and located about a hundred metres further north, on the other side of avenue Georges-Clemenceau; SNCF closed it to passenger traffic on the very day the new station opened. Three entrances serve the station: no. 1 on the station forecourt, near the Baltard pavilion, no. 2 on avenue des Marronniers and no. 3 on avenue Georges-Clemenceau.
Anecdote
From 2016 to 2020, the surroundings were largely reworked: the park-and-ride was demolished, an office building was built above the station, the underground bus station was removed, and a simplified access to the Baltard pavilion was created. RATP technical workshops of about 1,900 m² were also built in the basement. The station is served by the A2 branch towards Boissy-Saint-Léger, by buses 113, 114, 120 and 210 and, at night, by Noctilien N33.
