The Château- Rive Gauche train station is served by the bus lines 1 , 2 ,3 ,10, 13 ,22, and 103 of the Phebus bus network of Versailles, The RER C train station is on Avenue du Général de Gaulle ,closer with corner with Avenue de Sceaux, so coming out turn left and get on Sceaux you will get to the palace quicker on foot, Right across there is the bus depot with many lines as above, This is place Lyautey with starbuck coffee, and around the corner a Buffalo Grill resto and Brasserie le Lyautey, Plenty of shops souvenirs etc. A press magazine snacks Relay is present, as well as distributors of fresh and hot beverages and snacks, an automatic photograph booth, and a photocopier are also available. facilities, equipment and services are available for people with reduced mobility. It is equipped with automation machines and Grandes lignes (big lines and even to Europe). This Transilien train station, has a passenger building with open counters every day. This station gets very busy, so I suggest that you buy a return ticket so you won’t have to waste time queuing to buy your ticket back to Paris. It is accessible from the center of Paris on the line C5 with stations such as Bibliothèque François Mitterrand ,Gare d’Austerlitz, Notre-Dame St Michel, Musée d’Orsay, Invalides, Pont de l’Alma, Champ de Mars and Tour Eiffel, etc. Its new name now includes the historical mention Rive-gauche as well. In order to facilitate the access of the site to its many visitors, the old name of the station nevertheless included the mention Château de Versailles. It is the closest station to the Château de Versailles (about 500 meters to the entrance gate of the castle, by the Avenue de Sceaux, which folks usually go a longer way by the Avenue de Paris).


The opening of the station of Versailles-Rive-Gauche, in the district of Saint-Louis, takes place on Septemat the inauguration of the line of Paris – Versailles by the left bank of the Seine river. This station has three platforms (two central wharves and one outside wharf) for five dead-ends (plus a service lane). The word “Château” comes from its proximity to the Château de Versailles The terms “rive gauche” are explained by the fact that it is located on an established line, departing from Paris, on the left bank of the Seine river. The Gare de Versailles-Château-Rive-Gauche (formerly called Versailles-Rive-gauche), but still commonly called simply Rive Gauche, is one of the terminus of the line RER C.
