The subway station Église d'Auteuil is a station on the Line 10 of the Paris Métro . In terms of the number of boarding passengers, it is the metro station with the lowest number of passengers.

location

The station is located in the Quartier d' Auteuil in the 16th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under Rue Wilhem between Place Théodore-Rivière and Rue Corot.

Surname

It is named after the Notre-Dame d'Auteuil church on Rue Wilhem . It was built between 1877 and 1884 on the site of a previous structure from the 11th century.

Initially, the station was named "Wilhem" after Rue Wilhem. This is named after the writer and composer Guillaume-Louis Bocquillon, who used the pseudonym Wilhem. The station was renamed on May 15, 1921 at the initiative of a local council, which wrongly assumed that the name referred to the German Kaiser Wilhelm II .

History and description

The station went into operation on September 30, 1913 with the opening of the western extension of Line 8 from Beaugrenelle (since 1947: Charles Michels ) to Porte d'Auteuil . On July 27, 1937, the relevant section of line 8 between La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle and Porte d'Auteuil was assigned to line 10.

It is located at the beginning of the former Boucle d'Auteuil end loop and is one of the few stations that has only one track. Only the trains in the direction of Boulogne - Pont de Saint-Cloud stop there, for the opposite direction you have to get on at the nearby Mirabeau station .

The 75 m long platform is located under an elliptical , white tiled vault on the northeast side of the track. There is an entrance to each of its ends, the south-east facing the confluence of the Rue Corot. The north-west entrance at Place Théodore-Rivière is marked by a Val d'Osne candelabra .

vehicles

Conventional MF 67 series trains run on Line 10 . Between 1975 and 1994 trains of the MA series ran , before that of the Sprague-Thomson type .
