Miromesnil is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 9 and 13 .
location
The metro station is located on the border of the Quartier de la Madeleine and the Quartier de l'Europe in the 8th arrondissement of Paris . The station of line 9 is located lengthways below rue La Boétie, that of line 13 is located lengthways under the intersecting avenue Percier - avenue Delcassé.
Surname
It is named after the Rue de Miromesnil, which is crossed by the line 9 at the eastern end of the station. Armand Thomas Hue de Miromesnil (1723–1796) was a French magistrate and minister of justice who, in 1774 , abolished the "Question préparatoire", a form of torture to obtain confessions.
history
The station went into operation on May 27, 1923, when line 9 was extended from Trocadéro station to Saint-Augustin station. The station on line 13 went into operation on June 27, 1973 with its extension from Saint-Lazare . Until February 18, 1975, Miromesnil was the temporary terminus of this line.
description
Both stations have two side platforms on two main tracks. The station on line 9 has an elliptical cross-section, the ceiling and walls are tiled. At its western end, a rectangular section was created in 1973 when a transfer route to line 13 was created. The cross-section of their station, which is almost at right angles below that of line 9, is rectangular. In the summer of 2010, the line 13 station received platform screen doors .
The station on line 9 is 105 m long, sufficient for seven-car trains. At 111 m, the station on line 13 is unusually long.
One of the three entrances is in a residential building and is marked by two yellow "M" in a rectangle, another shows the "M" as usual on a pole in a double circle.
vehicles
Both lines are operated with conventional vehicles that run on steel rails. Trains of the Sprague-Thomson type initially ran on line 9, and they were last used there. In 1983 they were replaced by those of the MF 67 series . 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.
The MA series initially operated at the station on Line 13, followed by the MF 67 series from 1975. In 1978, the line was the first to receive the new MF 77 series trains , which has been the only vehicle type since then.
Surroundings
Close to the Miromesnil metro station are the Élysée Palace (the official residence of the President ), the Ministry of the Interior and the Musée Jacquemart-André art museum .
