Did you know?
A Seine-et-Marne halt on the Paris-Lyon to Marseille-Saint-Charles line, at kilometre point 68.130, served by Transilien line R and by TER Bourgogne-Franche-Comté trains. The station used to be called Moret - Saint-Mammès, before the creation of the Moret - Veneux-les-Sablons station in the second half of the 19th century. In 1866, a single Paris - Saint-Mammès ticket cost 7.75 F in 1st class, 5.80 F in 2nd class and 4.25 F in 3rd class. The station building is currently closed, an underpass gives access to the platforms, and a free car park has 200 spaces.
Anecdote
Midway between the stations of Moret - Veneux-les-Sablons and Saint-Mammès, the Saint-Mammès viaduct, also called the Moret viaduct, crosses the Loing. Built between 1846 and 1848, it originally had thirty arches 10 m high, of which the two arches over the Loing were cast iron. During the Second World War, the French engineers blew up the arch spanning the Loing to slow the advance of German troops; at the end of the war, the two cast-iron arches were rebuilt in masonry. The church of Saint-Mammès has been a listed historic monument since 1926.
