The metro station Dugommier is a station on the line 6 of the Paris Métro .

location

The station is located on the border of the Quartier de Picpus with the Quartier de Bercy in the 12th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under the Boulevard de Reuilly at the intersection with the Rue de Charenton.

Surname

It is named after the rue Dugommier, which opens there. The general Jacques François Dugommier (1738–1794) commanded a. a. 1793 the siege of the city of Toulon , which he was finally able to conquer with the help of his subordinate Napoleon Bonaparte .

Until July 12, 1939, the station was named "Charenton" after the Rue de Charenton leading to the suburb of Charenton-le-Pont . It was probably changed to avoid confusion, as the extension of line 8 to Charenton-le-Pont was already being built.

History and description

The station was put into operation on March 1, 1909 by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) when their route from Nation to Place d'Italie was opened. This was the first and last newly opened section of line 6. In July 1974, line 6 was switched to operation with rubber-tired trains .

The 75 m long station is located under a plastered , white painted elliptical vaulted ceiling. It has 4 m wide side platforms on two main tracks and white tiled side walls that follow the curvature of the ellipse. The only access is near the confluence of Rue Dubrunfaut, it is marked by a yellow “M” in a double circle.

vehicles

Before 1974, Sprague-Thomson- type trains ran on the route . Since the conversion of line 6 to rubber-tired vehicles, trains of the MP 73 series made up of three multiple units and two sidecars have been running there .

Surroundings

The Promenade Plantée green area is located near the station on a disused railway line .

Remarks

  1. ↑ The route was completed in 1906, but initially not opened due to the low number of passengers expected
  2. ↑ Its continuation to Étoile went into operation under line number 2 Sud between 1900 and 1906, but has only been part of line 6 since 1942
  3. ↑ The side walls of similar stations of the competing company Nord-Sud run in a straight line vertically in the lower area
  4. ↑ A railcar with a one-sided driver's cab runs at each end of the train, with a driverless cab and two non-motorized sidecars in between
