The line is 19 kilometres (12 miles) long. It connects the communes of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (north) and Saint-Cyr-l'École (south), in the western outer suburbs of Paris. It has interchanges with existing SNCF Transilien lines L, N and U, as well as Réseau Express Régional (RER) lines A and C.

The line replaced a former branch of Transilien Line L between Saint-Germain-en-Laye–Grande-Ceinture station and Noisy-le-Roi station, going further north to Saint-Germain-en-Laye station and further south to Saint-Cyr station.
