Plaisir-Les Clayes: station history
Served by: Transilien N.
Did you know?
A station in the Yvelines opened in January 1973, located in the commune of Plaisir, close to Les Clayes-sous-Bois, at kilometre point 30.800 of the Saint-Cyr to Surdon line, at 119 m altitude, between the stations of Villepreux - Les Clayes and Plaisir - Grignon. It is served by Transilien line N (Paris-Montparnasse - Plaisir - Mantes-la-Jolie branch). The station building, renovated in 2011, houses a ticket office, a Transilien machine and a real-time information system. Two side platforms, of 281 m (track 1) and 221 m (track 2), are linked by an underpass.
Anecdote
The priory of Plaisir, a small manor built in the late 19th century on the site of a Benedictine priory, has housed the town hall since 1971. The village centre lies at the confluence of the Maldroit and Sainte-Apolline streams, and the Avre aqueduct, which supplies Paris with drinking water, crosses the town from west to east. The château de Plaisir was bought by the commune in 1976. The station is served by bus line 5102 of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines network and, at night, by Noctilien line N160.
