RER A

On the RER A, the line towards the east of Paris divides into two branches after Vincennes station. Val de Fontenay is the first station on branch A4 which leads to Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy and is the busier of the two branches.

It lies on the railway line from Paris-Est to Mulhouse-Ville, and was initially served by suburban trains between Paris-Est and Nogent - Le Perreux. Since 30 August 1999, the station is instead served by the RER E on its branch E4, going between Haussmann–Saint-Lazare and Tournan.

Towards Haussmann–Saint-Lazare, trains coming from Villiers-sur-Marne stop at all stations, while trains coming from Tournan stop only at Noisy-le-Sec, Pantin, Rosa Parks and Magenta. In the evening, there are 4 trains per hour, alternating between Villiers-sur-Marne and Tournan and stopping at all stations.
