The Hôtel de Ville underground station is a transfer station for the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 1 and 11 . With around 33,000 passengers a day, in 2004 it was one of the 20 busiest stations on the metro.
location
The metro station is located in the Saint-Merri district of the 4th arrondissement of Paris . The station for line 1 is located alongside rue de Rivoli between Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville and rue de Lobau, while line 11 is located alongside rue du Renard.
Surname
The name is given by the nearby Paris City Hall (fr: Hôtel de ville de Paris). The building went up in flames at the time of the Paris Commune on May 25, 1871 and was rebuilt in the Renaissance style between 1873 and 1883 .
history
The station on Line 1 was built in an open excavation and was put into operation on July 19, 1900 with the opening of the line. At the time, this operated on the section from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Maillot . On August 27, 1903, when the lighting failed due to a short circuit, there was an accident with one fatality.
Initially the station was 75 m long, at the beginning of the 1960s it was extended to 90 m and converted for traffic with rubber-tyred trains . In March 2009 the platforms were raised and later equipped with platform screen doors as part of the introduction of driverless operation .
The station on line 11 was opened on April 28, 1935. From its inner-city endpoint, Châtelet, it initially led 5500 m to Porte des Lilas .
description
Both stations have side platforms on two main tracks. The station on line 1 has a rectangular cross-section with a ceiling supported on transverse beams.
The station of line 11 is located under an elliptical , white-tiled vault with curved side walls. It is still 75 m long. To the west of the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, your route crosses under that of Line 1 and then turns into Rue de la Coutellerie.
There are six entrances that are designed differently. The entrances to the rue de Renard have candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the style of Art Deco , the one to the rue de Lobau has a pole with a yellow M in a double circle, which was introduced in the 1950s.
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, green painted five-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design entered Line 1, which 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 .
