Franklin D. Roosevelt is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 1 and 9 . With around twelve million passengers a year, it is the fourteenth most frequented metro station in Paris .
location
The metro station is located on the border of the Quartier du Faubourg du Roule and the Quartier des Champs-Élysées in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. The station of line 1 is located lengthways below the avenue des Champs-Élysées east of the confluence of the rue Marbeuf, that of the line 9 is located lengthways below the avenue Montaigne. The two routes intersect under the Rond-point des Champs-Élysées (since 1991: Rond-point des Champs-Élysées-Marcel-Dassault ).
Surname
It is named after the nearby avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt (before 1946: avenue Victor-Emmanuel III). Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945) was President of the United States from 1933 until his death . During his tenure, the United States entered World War II in December 1941 .
When it opened, the line 1 station after Rue Marbeuf was named "Marbeuf". The General Louis Charles René (1712-1786), Earl of Marbeuf , was governor of Corsica . There he made friends with the Bonaparte family and sponsored the young Napoleon Bonaparte .
The station of line 9 was put into operation with the name "Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées". The circular square (rond-point) is roughly in the middle of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées at its intersection with the Avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt. On October 6, 1942, the two stations were combined to form the "Marbeuf-Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées" transfer station. The name change to Franklin D. Roosevelt took place on October 30, 1946.
history
As part of the first section of Line 1 between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot , which opened on July 19, 1900, the station "Marbeuf" went into operation.
The station "Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées" (colloquially just: Rond-Point) on line 9 was opened when it was extended on May 27, 1923 from Trocadéro to Saint-Augustin . Initially there was no direct connection between the two stations, which were relatively far apart (approx. 200 m). It was not until October 6, 1942, that an underground corridor was opened for transfer passengers and the stations were given the common name "Marbeuf-Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées" (also colloquially: Champs-Élysées-Marbeuf).
The subway station was the first to be renovated after the Second World War . The inauguration was celebrated with a grand ceremony on the night of March 2, 1957. Because of the showcases installed along the platforms at that time, in which (in the station of Line 1) replicas of paintings were displayed in the form of glass pictures, it was also referred to as “Station musée” (museum station). The showcases in the station on Line 9 are reserved for advertising adjacent shops, the glass pictures on Line 1 were moved to the counter hall in the 2000s.
The station on Line 1 was extended from 75 m to 90 m in the 1960s and converted for traffic with rubber-tyred trains . In 2008 it was completely renovated in the course of the introduction of driverless operation on Line 1. The platforms were raised and platform screen doors were installed.
description
Both stations are under elliptical vaulted ceilings, they have curved side walls and side platforms on two main tracks. The station of line 9 still has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m.
The tunnel of line 9 passes under at the Rond-point des Champs-Élysées-Marcel-Dassault that of line 1 and the sewer "Collecteur Montaigne" and then swings north under the avenue Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There is no track connection between the two lines, line 9 has a simple track change south of its station .
From the street there are seven entrances, six of which were designed by Joseph Cassien-Bernard in the neoclassical style. The eastern access, Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées / Avenue Montaigne, has an illuminated sign that only appears there.
vehicles
Initially, trains ran on Line 1, which consisted of a railcar with only one driver's cab and two sidecars . These vehicles were two-axle and each nearly nine meters long. As early as 1902, eight-car trains were formed, each with a railcar at the ends of the train. The railcars were replaced by four-axle vehicles on bogies until 1905, and the sidecars from 1906 . In 1908, five-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design painted in dark green appeared on Line 1, and they stayed there until the 1960s. From May 1963, the Sprague-Thomson trains, which ran on rails, were successively replaced by the MP 59 series with rubber-tyred vehicles , until December 1964 there was mixed traffic of the two modes of operation. The MP 89 CC series followed in 1997, which gave way to the MP 05 series with the start of automatic operation .
Initially, Sprague-Thomson trains ran on line 9, and in 1983 they were replaced by those of the MF 67 series . The MF 01 series has been increasingly used since October 2013 .
