Michel-Ange - Auteuil is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 10 (until 1937: line 8) and 9 .
location
The metro station is located in the Quartier d' Auteuil in the 16th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 10 is to the west of rue Michel-Ange under rue d'Auteuil , the station of line 9 under rue Michel-Ange south of rue d'Auteuil.
Surname
The streets Rue Michel-Ange and Rue d'Auteuil give it its name. The Italian painter and sculptor Michelangelo (fr: Michel-Ange; 1475–1564) is considered one of the most important artists of the Italian High Renaissance . His sculpture of David and the ceiling and wall paintings in the Sistine Chapel are world-famous .
The former hamlet of Auteuil was incorporated into Paris in 1860. First mentioned under the name Altogilum, it has been plundered and destroyed several times in the course of history. Today, the Quartier d'Auteuil is one of the most posh and expensive areas in the city.
History and description
On September 30, 1913, the station of today's line 10 was put into operation with the opening of the western extension of line 8. At that time, this was extended to the west by the Beaugrenelle station (since 1947: Charles Michels ). In the Auteuil district , it formed a large final loop that was abandoned as such in the course of the extension of line 10 to Boulogne - Jean Jaurès in 1980 as such. The loop is driven counter-clockwise. On July 27, 1937, the section of line 8 between La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle and the then terminus Porte d'Auteuil , including the Michel-Ange - Auteuil station, was assigned to line 10.
The station on line 10 has two tracks on a central platform, both of which are used in an east-west direction. The southern track is used for regular traffic to Boulogne-Billancourt , the northern one is a connecting track coming from Rue La Fontaine with line 9 in the direction of Porte Molitor station, which was never opened . The latter is separated by a lattice fence on the platform edge. Passengers in the direction of Gare d'Austerlitz must take line 9 to Michel-Ange - Molitor and change there.
The station on line 9 was opened on November 8, 1922. On that day, the first section of this line from Trocadéro to Exelmans went into operation. It has two tracks on two side platforms.
Both stations are under elliptical vaults and are each 75 m long. The walls and ceilings are tiled in white, the side walls follow the curvature of the ellipse.
Access is at the intersection of Rue d'Auteuil and Rue Michel-Ange - Rue La Fontaine, and is marked by a Val d'Osne candelabra . Not far from there is an additional exit with an escalator.
vehicles
Line 9 is operated with conventional vehicles that run on steel rails. Initially, trains of the Sprague-Thomson type , which were last used there, ran. 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.
Conventional trains of the MF 67 series run on Line 10. Between 1975 and 1994 trains of the MA series ran , before that of the Sprague-Thomson type.
Remarks
- ↑ On several lines of the Paris Métro trains run with pneumatic tires on mobile beams
- ↑ The last Sprague-Thomson train on the Métro's regular service was on line 9 on April 16, 1983
