Park of Villecresnes

The creation of the Ligne of Vincennes took place in 1875.

In 1953 the station of Villecresnes was closed then destroyed in 1994.

During the years 1980, a great battle took place between the municipality and the State about the creation of the line TGV on the layout of the old line.

The municipality saw its followed claims and a tunnel of 2500 meters, instead of 200 meters envisaged in the beginning, was built because to Villecresnes the train passed in a valley steepsided (like currently in Vincennes) except on the level of the old station, which made it possible to create a green casting between the wood of the Barn and the Ézard mount.

Thanks to the Station the commune urbanized much, it underwent the strong demand residences that with generated the Baby-boom.
