Haunted stations of the Métro Paris

The ghost stations of the Métro Paris are closed to the public. Some were abandoned for historical or economic reasons, others never opened due to bad planning. There are a total of 18 ghost stations (“Stations fantômes”) in the Paris Métro .

history

At the beginning of the Second World War , most of the Métro stations were temporarily closed. Only 85 stations remained open. To date, four of the closed stations have not been reopened after the end of the war. Other stations were postponed, completed or built half-finished and never went into operation due to poor planning. The Martin Nadaud station was merged with it because of its proximity to the Gambetta station .
