Achères-Ville station

Achères-Ville is a French railway station in Achères commune, in Yvelines département, Île-de-France region.

The station was put in operation in May 1976 to bring rail transport closer to the town.

Until then Achères was only served by Achères–Grand-Cormier station, on Paris–Le Havre railway, located 2 km (1.24 mi) from the city center.

This situation was due to the destruction of Village d'Achères station (on Achères–Pontoise railway), which was closer, but destroyed by bombings during the night from 7–8 June 1944, and never set in service again.

[2] The additional word Ville prevents confusion with Achères–Grand-Cormier station.
