Chardon-Lagache is an underground station on line 10 of the Paris Métro . It is one of the stations with the lowest number of passengers, only trains in the direction of Gare d'Austerlitz .
location
The station is located in the Auteuil district of the 16th arrondissement of Paris . It is located alongside the Rue Molitor - Rue Mirabeau at its intersection with Rue Chardon-Lagache .
Surname
It is named after the Rue Chardon-Lagache, which is named after the old people's home "Maison de retraite Chardon-Lagache". Pierre-Alfred Chardon was a businessman who donated his fortune to build this old people's home for people in need in the mid-19th century. The home, which opened in 1865, bears his surname as well as that of his wife Amélie Lagache.
history
The station was put into operation on September 30, 1913 and was initially part of Line 8. On that day, this was extended westward from the Beaugrenelle station (since 1947: Charles Michels ). In the Auteuil district, it formed a large final loop that was driven counter-clockwise. The penultimate of the six stations located at it was Chardon-Lagache.
On July 27, 1937, the end section west of the La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle station , including the end loop "Boucle d'Auteil" and the Mirabeau station, was assigned to line 10. Since the line was extended to the suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt , the section has largely lost its function as an end loop.
