The Metro Station Boissière is a station on the line 6 of the Paris Métro .
location
The station is located in the Quartier de Chaillot in the 16th arrondissement of Paris . It is located lengthways under avenue Kléber at rue Boissière.
Surname
It is named after the crossing Rue Boissière. Their name, in turn, can be traced back to a wooden cross (bois = wood) which was decorated with box tree branches on Palm Sunday .
History and description
The station was put into operation on October 2, 1900, when the line from Étoile (since 1970: Charles de Gaulle - Étoile ) to Trocadéro was opened as the first section of the then line 2 Sud. On October 14, 1907, the previously independent line 2 Sud , which had been running to Place d'Italie since April 24, 1906, was abandoned and its route to the southwest end section of line 5 (Étoile - Place d'Italie - Gare du Nord ). The routes were changed again on October 6, 1942, so that line 6 has operated at the station since then.
Under an elliptical vault there are two side platforms on two parallel tracks. The side walls are tiled in white, they follow the curvature of the ellipse. The station is 75 m long - sufficient for five-car trains.
The only entrance was designed by Hector Guimard in the Art Nouveau style, it has largely been preserved in the original.
vehicles
Before 1906, the section of today's line 6 was only used by four-car trains made up of two-axle vehicles because of the short platforms at the temporary terminal in Passy . Trains of the Sprague-Thomson type followed from around 1910 . In July 1974 the line was switched to vehicles with rubber tires, and the MP 73 series has been operating there ever since .
