Bonne Nouvelle is a double underground station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 8 and 9 .

location

The metro station is located on the border of the 2nd , 9th and 10th arrondissements of Paris . It lies alongside the Boulevard de Bonne Nouvelle , between the Rue du Sentier and the Rue de Mazagran.

Surname

The subway station is named after the Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Nouvelle church in the nearby Rue de la Lune. The building erected between 1823 and 1830 is already the third sacred building at this point.

history

The station on line 8 was put into operation on May 5, 1931, just in time one day before the opening of the Paris Colonial Exhibition. On that day the line from Richelieu - Drouot was extended by approx. 8000 m to Porte de Charenton .

Trains on line 9 first ran there on December 10, 1933 as part of the extension of the line from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Montreuil .

description

The stations of lines 8 and 9 are aligned one above the other, with line 8 using the upper level. They each have side platforms on two main tracks, massive supporting walls between the tracks, which are perforated in some places, give the impression of four single-track stations. Ceilings and walls are tiled in white, the ceilings are curved asymmetrically. Both stations were built from the start with a length of 105 m.

On the occasion of the centenary of the Métro, the subway station was decorated with a film theme . Since then, the station signs have had a wave-shaped font, corresponding to the well-known Hollywood lettering above Los Angeles .

There are six entrances from the street, some of which are marked by candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style .

vehicles

First, seven-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson type ran on line 8 . From 1975 onwards, MF 67 trains came on line 8, which were replaced by the MF 77 series from 1980 . Since not all stations on Line 8 have been extended accordingly, only five-car trains are in use there today.

Sprague-Thomson trains, which were last used there, also ran on line 9 for decades. In 1983 the MF 67 series was launched. The MF 01 series has been increasingly used since October 2013, and the last MF 67 train ran on line 9 on December 14, 2016.

Surroundings

Nearby are the Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell and the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique .

Remarks

  1. Because the stations of line 8 to the west of Richelieu - Drouot were initially only 75 m long, the last two wagons of a train continued to run empty from there, as they did not reach the edge of the platform
  2. The last Sprague Thomson train in regular service was on line 9 on April 16, 1983
