Surname

Corentin Cariou, 1938

The name gives the avenue Corentin Cariou, which adjoins avenue de Flandre to the northeast. The communist Corentin Cariou (1898–1942), a member of the city council of the 19th arrondissement, was murdered on March 7, 1942 by the German occupiers .

Until October 2, 1946, the station was called “Pont de Flandre” after avenue du Pont-de-Flandre (renamed avenue Corentin Cariou in 1946). The Pont de Flandre bridge leads in the train of the road to the north (historically: Flandre française ) in the immediate vicinity over the Canal Saint-Denis .

History and description

The station went into operation on November 11, 1910, six days after the first section of Line 7 from Opéra to Porte de la Villette opened. Between 1911 and 1967, line 7 split from the Louis Blanc underground station , with trains coming from the south alternating between one of the two branches. The Pont de Flandre or Corentin Cariou station was therefore only served by every second train on the line. This state lasted until December 3, 1967, when the eastern branch became an independent line 7bis .

It lies under an elliptical vault, the ceiling and walls are tiled in white. At 75 m, it has the original Parisian standard length, sufficient for five-car trains. The two main tracks are flanked by two side platforms.

The two entrances are on both sides of the Avenue Corentin Cariou north of the above. Railway bridge. They are each marked by a pole with a yellow “M” in a double circle.

vehicles

Conventional trains that run on steel rails run on Line 7. Until 1971 it was Sprague-Thomson type vehicles painted green , which were replaced by the MF 67 series for the next eight years . In 1979 the latter were replaced by five-car trains from the MF 77 series .
