The Metro Station Crimée is an underground station of Line 7 of the Paris Métro .

location

The station is located in the Quartier de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under the Avenue de Flandre north of the crossing Rue de Crimée.

Surname

It is named after the Rue de Crimée. The Crimea (fr: Crimée) is a peninsula in the northern Black Sea . In the course of the Crimean War , French and Russian troops faced each other there in 1855/56.

History and description

The station went into operation on November 5, 1910 when the first section of Line 7 from Opéra to Porte de la Villette opened.

It lies under an elliptical vault, the side walls follow the curvature of the ellipse. The ceiling and the 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 entrance at the confluence with Rue Mathis has the Art Nouveau decor designed by Hector Guimard .

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 Crimée 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 .

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 .
