Havre - Caumartin is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines  3 and  9 . At Auber station, which is connected underground, you can change to the S-Bahn- like line RER A , and the metro stations Saint-Augustin , Saint-Lazare and Opéra can also be reached via connecting corridors.

location

The metro station is located in the Quartier de la Chaussée-d'Antin in the 9th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 3 is located lengthways under rue Auber, that of line 9 lengthways under Boulevard Haussmann at the level of rue de Caumartin.

Surname

It is named after the Rue de Caumartin, which crosses the Boulevard Haussmann, and the rue du Havre that joins it. The latter got its name in 1845 because it leads to the Gare Saint-Lazare (then: Embarcadère de l'Ouest) train station. There the trains start in a north-west direction to the port city of Le Havre .

Until 1926 the station was only called "Caumartin". The Le Fèvre de Caumartin family produced several important personalities, including a. the Frondeur Louis-François II Le Fèvre de Caumartin de Boissy (1624–1687) and the Prévôt des marchands Antoine-Louis Lefebvre de Caumartin (1725–1803).

history

The station went into operation on October 19, 1904 with the opening of line 3. This was opened to traffic on the section from Villiers to Père Lachaise . During the flood of 1910 , the station, like many others, was flooded several meters high.

The station on line 9 was opened on June 3, 1923. It was renovated around 1970. It received a decor in the "Mouton-Duvernet" style with orange wall tiles and a dark painted ceiling.

In 1971, when the Auber RER station went into operation, one of the most important transfer complexes on the Paris public transport network was created.

description

Both stations are each 75 m long, they have side platforms on two main tracks. The station on line 3 was built using the open construction method, it has a horizontal metal ceiling. Longitudinal girders, which carry small vaults made of bricks, rest on iron support beams that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. The station on line 9 has an elliptical cross-section with curved side walls, east of which there is a simple track change .

At the intersection of Boulevard Haussmann and Rue du Havre - Rue Auber, metro lines 3, 9 and 12 and the RER A cross (from top to bottom).

There are four entrances from the street. The complex has eleven escalators, more than any other subway station in the city.

vehicles

As a result of the accident at Couronnes station , line 3 was equipped with vehicles that ran on bogies from the start . The five-car trains consisted of three multiple units and two trailer cars . They were later replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which ran there until 1967. In that year, Line 3 was the first to receive the new MF 67 series, which runs classically on steel rails . The trains, which were renovated between 2005 and 2008, will continue to be in use there in 2020; from 2028 they are to be replaced by trains of the MF 19 series.

Initially, Sprague-Thomson-type trains, which were last used there, also ran on line 9. In 1983 the MF 67 series was launched. The MF 01 series has been increasingly used since October 2013, and the last MF 67 train ran on line 9 on December 14, 2016.
