Gentilly station is a station on the line B of the Réseau Express Régional, a hybrid suburban commuter and rapid transit line. It is named after the city of Gentilly where the station is located.

History

The Compagnie du Paris-Orléans (PO) commissioned the Gentilly station in 1891, when the Sceaux line was put on normal track gauge (before the Ligne de Sceaux used a special large gauge).It was a simple halt, perhaps an enlarged gatekeeper's house.

The current passenger building was built in 1933 by the company's architect, Louis Brachet. It is located at the end of the tunnel dug from 1935, during work to remove the level crossings of the Sceaux line, by engineers from the Compagnie du PO. Indeed, the removal of the level crossing which cut the boulevard Jourdan at the level of the Cité Universitaire required major works including the creation of a 520-meter underground tunnel passage under the City park and the reconstruction of the Gentilly and Cité Universitaire stations .
