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. Val de Fontenay (like Noisy-le-Grand-Mont d'Est) is served by every train running on this branch, while others are skipped at certain times of day (such as Bry-sur-Marne and Lognes). The station was opened by RATP on 8 December 1977, the opening date of RER A.

RER E

The SNCF opened its station the day after the opening of RER A. 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. Train service on the E line consists of 6 trains per hour during the week in both directions. Towards Tournan, there are 4 trains per hour to Villiers-sur-Marne–Le Plessis-Trévise and 2 trains per hour to 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.
