History and description
The station was put into operation on May 5, 1931, when, at the beginning of the colonial exhibition in the Bois de Vincennes, the section from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Charenton of line 8 was opened. Under an elliptical, white-tiled vaulted ceiling, it has side platforms on two parallel tracks and was built with a length of 105 m to accommodate seven-car trains.
The three entrances are each marked by a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style and bearing the word METRO.
vehicles
During the colonial exhibition in 1931, seven-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design ran at the station ; later the train lengths were shortened to five cars. From 1975 onwards, MF 67 trains came on line 8, which were replaced by the MF 77 series from 1980 .
Remarks
- ↑ Because the stations of line 8 to the west of Richelieu - Drouot were initially only 75 m long, the last two wagons of a train continued to run empty from there, as they did not reach the edge of the platform
