Madeleine is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 8 , 12 and 14 .
location
The metro station is located on Place de la Madeleine in the Quartier de la Madeleine in the 8th arrondissement of Paris .
Surname
The underground station is named after the La Madeleine church located there . Its predecessor, a chapel in La Ville-l'Evêque, which was formerly located on the site, was consecrated to the biblical Marie Madeleine ( Maria Magdalena ) in the 13th century .
history
Today's line 12, and with it its Madeleine station, was built as line A by the Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris (North-Sud), a competitor of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP ). When the Seine floods in 1910 , the line was flooded, which delayed the completion of the construction work. Nevertheless, it was opened to traffic on the section from Porte de Versailles via Madeleine to Notre-Dame-de-Lorette on November 5, 1910.
On July 13, 1913, the station on line 8 was put into operation. The latter was built and operated by the CMP, it initially operated between Beaugrenelle (now: Charles Michels on today's line 10 ) and Opéra .
The last expansion of the Madeleine underground station was the opening of the driverless, fully automatic line 14. On March 15, 1995, the tunnel boring machine reached the station, which went into operation on October 15, 1998. Until December 16, 2003 Madeleine was temporarily the western end point of the line, also known as "Météor" ( acronym for "MÉTro Est-Ouest Rapide").
description
The three spatially separated stations form a triangle east of the La Madeleine church. The station of line 12 is in the north-eastern area of Place de la Madeleine, while that of line 8 is located alongside the Boulevard de la Madeleine that begins there. The station of line 14 is located under the short Rue de Sèze and on both sides under its house fronts. The access structure under the Boulevard de la Madeleine of line 8 has the special feature that it can be used as an exit via a direct escalator from the platforms of line 12 can, however, the way to line 12 is only possible with a detour via the platform of line 8.
The stations are connected to one another by transitions. They each have side platforms on two parallel tracks. The cross-sections of the halls are elliptical, although the construction methods of the CMP and the north-south differ from each other. The hall of line 12 is slightly higher because it had to accommodate an overhead line to power the trains . In addition, its side walls are vertical, while those of line 8 are curved. The ceilings and walls of the stations are tiled.
Line 14 crosses under the other two lines, while line 12 crosses line 8. West of its station, line 14 has a double track change , the subsequent track sections were used to turn trains until the line was extended in 2003. There is a simple track change to the west of the line 8 station. There are no track connections between the lines.
There are several exits and entrances that lead directly to the stations or a distribution level. The entrances on the Boulevard de la Madeleine also serve as public pedestrian underpasses. The main entrance was designed by Joseph Cassien-Bernard in the neoclassical style. During the First World War , it served the population as access to the underground station used as a shelter.

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.
Line 8 received MF 67 trains from 1975 onwards, which in 1980 were replaced by the MF 77 series . Rubber-tired, driverless trains of the MP 89 CA and MP 05 series run on Line 14 .
