Bourse is an underground station on line 3 of the Paris Métro .

location

The station is located in the Vivienne district of the 2nd arrondissement of Paris . It is located under the Place de la Bourse along the Rue du Quatre-Septembre and Rue Réaumur.

Surname

The name refers to the immediately adjacent former Paris stock exchange . The Palais Brongniart building, which housed the stock exchange from 1826 to 1998 , was built between 1808 and 1827 as the “Palais de la Bourse” in the style of the Vespasian temple. It was started by Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and completed by Éloi Labarre.

History and description

The station went into operation on October 19, 1904 with the opening of the first section of Line 3. This was then opened to traffic between the Villiers and Père Lachaise stations .

It has side platforms under an elliptical vault on two parallel tracks. The walls and ceiling were tiled in white to reflect the scant light from the original lighting. It has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m. Two entrances are located on the south-west and south-east side of the Palais Brongniart.

vehicles

Line 3 was equipped with four-axle vehicles on bogies from the start . They were later replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which ran there until 1967. In that year, Line 3 was the first to receive the new MF 67 series, which runs classically on steel rails . These vehicles will still be in use there in 2020, and from 2028 they are to be replaced by trains of the MF 19 series.
