1. If you want to walk (20min, 1,5 Km - this is the best solution, if the weather is nice): Follow the street in front of the station in the direction of downtown (centre ville). At the end of this first street, take left and then go straight. Walk along the castle (build in 1222 for Philippe Auguste), and then along the church (its construction has started in the XIIth century) and finally along the covered market. After the covered market, follow Rue d'Etampes (on the right in front of you). Go straight up to the crossroad with Avenue d'Etampes (on the left). It goes to the VVF (after the the roundabout).
2. Take a taxi.
3. Take the city-bus : It operates every day except the week-end. You can take it at the RER station (direction VVF) from 7:05 to 19:35. It goes back to the station (departing from the VVF) every hour from 6:50 to 19:30. See full timetable, as it is not very frequent.
