location
The station is located at the foot of the Butte Montmartre hill in the Quartier de Clignancourt in the 18th arrondissement of Paris . It is located lengthways under rue Ordener, level with Place Jules Joffrin.
Surname
It is named after the Place Jules Joffrin. The socialist François Alexandre Jules Joffrin (1846–1890) spent eleven years in exile in England. After his return to Paris he was a city councilor and from 1889 a member of the Chamber of Deputies .
History and description
Line 12 was built as Line A by the Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris (North-Sud) and operated by it until 1930. On October 31, 1912, the Jules Joffrin station went into operation when the northern extension of the line from Pigalle to it was opened. Until August 23, 1916, Jules Joffrin was the line's terminus. After the Nord-Sud in 1930 in the previously competing Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), line A was renamed to line 12 on March 27, 1931.
Under an elliptical vault there are two side platforms on two main tracks. The station has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m, sufficient for five-car trains. Because of the overhead contact line initially on the north-south routes , it is slightly higher than the CMP stations located under similar vaults. In contrast to the stations set up by the CMP, the side walls do not follow the curvature of the ellipse, but run vertically in the lower area. Like the other underground stations in the north-south, the station was built a little more ornate than the stations of the CMP. After the walls had been covered in the meantime, the station is now largely in its original state after a renovation in 2008/2009. There is a simple track change to the east of the station .
The entrance is on Place Jules Joffrin, it has the typical decor of the North-South. The NORD-SUD logo was replaced by METROPOLITAIN after the takeover by CMP. An additional exit with escalator is located at the junction with Rue du Mont Cenis.
vehicles
On line 12, trains of the north-south type Sprague-Thomson ran initially , which differed in several points from the Sprague-Thomson vehicles of the CMP. A striking feature was the power supply of the leading railcar by means of a pantograph . After the takeover of Nord-Sud by CMP, this type of business was given up in the 1930s. In the 1970s, the north-south trains were eliminated in favor of the Sprague-Thomson standard design, and in 1977 modern trains of the MF 67 series came onto the line.
