A halt in the Val-d'Oise on the Montsoult - Maffliers to Luzarches line, a single-track branch of about eleven kilometres, opened by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord. It lies in the commune of Villaines-sous-Bois, away from the village, along departmental road 909, at 122 metres above sea level, at kilometre point 26.773, 26.8 kilometres from Paris-Nord. It is the first stop after Montsoult - Maffliers, before Belloy - Saint-Martin. It is an unstaffed stopping point, with a single platform in open country and no station building.
