Val d'Europe station is a railway station on the RER A line in Val d'Europe, the eastmost part of the new town of Marne-la-Vallée.
The station's full name is Serris – Montévrain – Val d'Europe, a recognition that the station serves more specifically the communes of Serris and Montévrain. The station also serves the nearby neighbourhoods of Chessy and Jossigny and the large shopping mall of Val d'Europe.
History
The district of Val d'Europe was planned and developed in conjunction with The Walt Disney Company, who wished to create a new town near the Disneyland Paris resort. Thus, on 1 April 1992, RER line A was extended to Marne-la-Vallée – Chessy to serve Disneyland Paris.
To achieve the objective of better serving the communes of the Val d'Europe, which was then in full expansion, and the Val d'Europe mall newly established, Val d'Europe station was built as an infill station on the already operating RER line and opened on 14 April 2001.[3][4]
Traffic
Val d'Europe station has seen its ridership increase, in ten years, from zero to three million passengers in 2011.[5]
