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

Location

The station is situated at kilometric point 23.594 of Achères-Pontoise railway. Its altitude is 30 m (98 ft).

History

The station was put in operation in May 1976 to bring rail transport closer to the town. Before, 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 the 7 to the 8 June 1944, and never set in service again.

The additional word Ville prevents confusion with Achères - Grand-Cormier station.
