The metro station Michel Bizot is a station on the line 8 of the Paris Métro .
location
The station is located on the border of the Quartier du Bel-Air and the Quartier de Picpus in the 12th arrondissement of Paris . It is located lengthways under Avenue Daumesnil, west of its intersection with Avenue du Géneral Michel Bizot.
Surname
The name gives the avenue du Géneral Michel Bizot. Michel Bizot (1795–1855) was a French general who was one of the organizers of the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War , during which he was killed.
History and description
The station was put into operation on May 5, 1931, when, at the beginning of the colonial exhibition in the Bois de Vincennes, the section from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Charenton of line 8 was opened. Under an elliptical, white-tiled vaulted ceiling, it has side platforms on two parallel tracks and was built with a length of 105 m to accommodate seven-car trains.
The three entrances are located at the intersection of Avenue Daumesnil and Rue de Picpus. Underneath, one is marked by a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style and bearing the word METRO.
vehicles
During the colonial exhibition in 1931, seven-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design ran at the station ; later the train lengths were shortened to five cars. From 1975 onwards, MF 67 trains came on line 8, which were replaced by the MF 77 series from 1980 .
Remarks
- ↑ Because the stations of line 8 to the west of Richelieu - Drouot were initially only 75 m long, the last two wagons of a train continued to run empty from there, as they did not reach the edge of the platform
