A train station open only on race days

The Saint-Cloud racecourse stop opened its doors in 1903 to facilitate public access to the Fouilleuse plain hippodrome. This station operated only on days of horse racing events thanks to a special track and a metal footbridge. The attendance on site had required the widening of the rue du Calvaire bridge, known as the Trois Pierrots bridge.
