Jaurès is a transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 2 , 5 and 7bis .

location

The metro station is located on the border of the Quartier de l'Hôpital-Saint-Louis in the 10th arrondissement with the Quartier de la Villette in the 19th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 2 is located as a high station above the median of the Boulevard de la Villette, that of the line 5 along the avenue Jean Jaurès. Line 7bis is located along the avenue Secrétan.

Surname

The avenue Jean Jaurès gives it its name. The politician Jean Jaurès (1859-1914) was a member of the National Assembly , co-founder of the socialist party PSDF and founder of the daily newspaper L'Humanité . On July 31, 1914, the war opponent was murdered by a nationalist .

When it opened, the station was named "Rue d & # 143; 'Allemagne" after the then name of Avenue Jean Jaurès. Shortly after the beginning of the First World War , the street named after Germany (fr: Allemagne) was given its current name, just as the “Berlin” station was renamed Liège a little later .

history

On January 31, 1903, the eastern extension of line 2 from Anvers to Bagnolet (since 1970: Alexandre Dumas ) was put into operation. The station of line 2 was opened on February 23, 1903, until then the trains drove through without stopping. Since the Canal Saint-Martin is crossed in the immediate vicinity , the route and station were laid out on a viaduct .

On January 18, 1911, the station of today's line 7bis was put into operation. At first, the line between the Louis Blanc and Pré-Saint-Gervais stations was operated autonomously. After a few months, operations were changed so that the trains on line 7 ran from Opéra to Louis Blanc, and from there alternately on the two northern branches to Pré-Saint-Gervais and Porte de la Villette . This type of operation lasted until December 3, 1967. From that day the route was operated separately again - due to the much higher number of passengers on the other branch - and was given the current line designation 7bis.

The station on line 5 was opened on October 12, 1942. On that day, its extension from Gare du Nord to Église de Pantin went into operation.

description

All three stations have side platforms on two main tracks and are each 75 m long. The structure of the station on Line 2 corresponds to the structure of the other elevated stations on the approx. 2 km long viaduct route. Its platforms are covered with pent roofs over the full length and are 4.10 m wide. Two rows of iron pillars support the longitudinal girders under the track bed and the inner edges of the platforms, masonry pillars their outer edges. Access is via an outside staircase that divides halfway up the station at the north end. To the south of the station there is a ramp that leads the tracks with an incline of 40 ‰ to the tunnel in the direction of Nation . On the north side, the route crosses the street Rue La Fayette –Avenue Jean Jaurès, which crosses the Canal Saint-Martin.

The underground stations of lines 5 and 7bis are located under elliptical , white-tiled vaults. Entrances are on the Place de la Bataille-de-Stalingrad and on Avenue Jean Jaurès. They are marked by candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style , which carry the word METRO.

vehicles

Two-axle vehicles with wooden superstructures initially ran on Line 2; the trains consisted of six short sidecars and one railcar at each end of the train. From 1914 to 1981 the line was operated by five-part, green-painted Sprague-Thomson trains. Since it was not to be converted to vehicles with rubber tires in the medium term, the MF 67 series was launched in 1979 , completely replacing its predecessor within two years. Series vehicles of the MF 01 series have been in use since 2008, and exclusively since 2011.

The five-part Sprague-Thomson trains on line 5 were replaced from 1978 by vehicles from the MF 67 series, which were followed by MF 01 trains from 2011.

In July 1980, the Sprague-Thomson trains that had been running on line 7bis, which last only ran there with four cars, were replaced within a few weeks by those of the MF 67 series. The MF 67 "F" initially ran in the classic configuration as five-car trains and were later replaced by four-car trains from the "E" series. Since January 1994, the short 7bis line has been the only one in the Paris Métro network that - after a transition period until December 30, 1994 - is used exclusively by the MF 88 series, which has just nine three-car trains .
