The RER C is one of the five lines in the RER subway system serving Paris, France.
The line runs from Pontoise (C1), Argenteuil (C3), Versailles - Rive Gauche (C5) and Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (C7) to Massy-Palaiseau (C2), Dourdan-la-Forêt (C4), Saint-Martin d'Étampes (C6) and Versailles - Chantiers (C8)
- First inauguration : 1979
- Length : 185.6 km (115.3 miles)
- Number of stops : 86
Line C was created in 1979 by connecting the Gare d'Orsay railway terminus (now Musée d'Orsay) with the Invalides terminus of the Rive Gauche line to Versailles, along the banks of the Seine. In 1988 the Argenteuil branch opened, using most of the infrastructure of the old SNCF Auteuil line and connecting to the line's main trunk at Javel via a curved bridge (the only one in Paris) over the Seine river.
