Tramway line T2 (Trans Val-de-Seine) is a tramway just outside the limits of Paris proper, connecting La Défense with Issy-les-Moulineaux west of Paris. It opened in 1997, mostly on converted SNCF right-of-way.

Because of the success of this line (65,000 people use it daily) the trams were doubled in length in 2005, raising the capacity of each tram to 440 passengers.

Two extension projects are planned for completion: a northward extension to Bezons in 2011, and an eastward one to Porte de Versailles in 2009, a transfer point to and from Metro line 12 and line T3.
