Surname
Until 1913 the station was only called "La Motte-Picquet".

history

The elevated railway station went into operation on April 24, 1906, when the section from Passy to Place d'Italie of Line 2 Sud (now part of Line 6) was opened. On October 14, 1907, the previously independent line 2 Sud was abandoned and for 35 years to the southwest end section of line 5 ( Étoile - Place d'Italie - Gare du Nord ). Since October 6, 1942, after changing the routing of line 5, line 6 has been operating at the high station.
On July 13, 1913, the western extension of line 8 (now part of line 10) from Opéra to Beaugrenelle (since 1947: Charles Michels ) was put into operation. Their route crosses the elevated railway under the above. Crossing.
In the 1930s, the underground station was extensively rebuilt. The western section of line 8 was to be connected to the eastern section of line 10, for which a new line was built between the stations La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle and Duroc . In addition, the northern section of line 8 should continue in a straight line under the Rue du Commerce, and further under the Avenue Félix Faure to Place Balard, to the southwest.
The previous station on Line 8 became the directional station for the trains running northeast on the two new lines. For the south-westerly direction, two station sections, one above the other, each with a side platform on one track, were built. On July 27, 1937, the route from Duroc via La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle to the western terminus Porte d'Auteuil was assigned to line 10. Line 8, coming from the north, has since ended at Balard station .
description
The entire system has the shape of a large "L", the horizontal line of which represents the elevated station on line 6. The intersection of the routes is just outside the station areas.
Line 6
The structure of the station on line 6 corresponds to most of the other high-altitude stations on this line. It is 75 m long and has 4.10 m wide side platforms on the two parallel tracks. Two longitudinal beams, each resting on a row of iron columns, carry the track bed and the inner edges of the platforms. Their outer edges and the side walls rest on two further longitudinal girders, which are supported by brick pillars. At the four corners of the station, a pillar protrudes over the roof for design reasons. The station has a gable roof - glass near the ridge - which also spans the tracks. The brick side walls show geometric ornaments on the outside.
Access is via an outside staircase that divides halfway up the station at the western end of the station; there are also subsequently built-in escalators and elevators on both platforms. There is a simple track change to the west of the station .
Lines 8 and 10
To the north and east, there is a common directional platform for lines 8 and 10 , which allows easy transfers between the trains in the directions Pointe du Lac (line 8) and Gare d'Austerlitz (line 10). The station is located under an elliptical vault, its ceilings and walls are tiled in white. Since the platforms on line 8, built between 1928 and 1972, are 105 m longer than those of line 10 (75 m), the central platform has unequal length of platform edges.
In the opposite direction, there is a single-track station on Line 10 (platform west of the track) and a line 8 (platform east of the track) with the platforms directly above one another. Both stations are 105 m long. The vault of the station on line 10 in the direction of Boulogne - Pont de Saint-Cloud is asymmetrical, its ceilings and walls are also tiled in white. The station of line 8 in the direction of Balard has a predominantly sloping ceiling due to its location below that of line 10, and the wall on the platform has orange-colored tiles.
In addition to four entrances from the street, there is a pedestrian tunnel that allows you to change to the high station on line 6. Three of the entrances are on the above. Crossing, one of which is marked by a pole with a yellow “M” in a double circle. Another entrance is equipped with an ascending escalator. The fourth entrance is on avenue de la Motte-Picquet at the level of the rue di Général du Castelnau.
vehicles
For decades, Sprague-Thomson trains were in use on all three routes . On line 10, they were replaced by the MA series from 1975 . In June 1994 it was replaced by the MF 67 series , which was still on the line in 2017.
Line 8 is reserved for trains of the MF 77 series that have been running there since 1980. The MF 67 series was initially used between 1975 and 1980, initially in mixed operation with Sprague-Thomson trains.
In July 1974 line 6 was switched to rubber-tyred vehicles, and the MP 73 series has been running there ever since .
Remarks
- ↑ At the similarly constructed elevated railway stations on Line 2, the side walls are glazed and only the platforms, but not the tracks, are covered
