Did you know?
A station in the Val-d'Oise opened on 24 March 2002 to serve the new Val de Liesse district, whose name comes from the ru de Liesse, which flows into the Oise. Operated by the SNCF, it is served by Transilien Paris-Nord trains (line H) and by RER line C. It lies on the Saint-Denis to Dieppe line, a former section of the Paris-Nord to Lille line, supplanted in 1859 by the more direct Saint-Denis to Creil link, 26.3 kilometres from Paris-Nord.
Anecdote
The station is located in the Méry-Pierrelaye plain, close to the route of the chaussée Jules César. It has a bicycle park and a paid car park of 200 to 300 spaces. The Pierrelaye to Creil line branches off shortly afterwards, towards Pontoise.
