Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is an underground station on line 12 of the Paris Métro .
location
The metro station is located in the Quartier de la Chaussée-d'Antin on the border with the Quartier du Faubourg Montmartre in the 9th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under the Rue de Châteaudun at the intersection with the Rue Saint-Georges.
Surname
It is named after the nearby parish church of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette . Legend has it that the “Virgin” Mary , accompanied by angels , went ashore in the Italian coastal town of Loreto . The church dedicated to her, built in the style of a Roman basilica , was built between 1823 and 1836.
history
Line 12 was built as Line A by the Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris (North-Sud) and operated by it until 1930. With the opening of the first section from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Porte de Versailles , the station went into operation as its provisionally northern end point on November 5, 1910. On April 8, 1911, line A was extended beyond Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Pigalle .
Line A was renamed line 12 on March 27, 1931 after the Nord-Sud had merged in the previous year in the previously competing Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP).
description
Under an elliptical , white tiled vault, there are two side platforms on two main tracks. In contrast to the stations set up by the CMP, the side walls do not follow the curvature of the ellipse, but run vertically in the lower area. Typically for the underground stations in the north-south, the station was built a bit more splendid than the stations of the CMP, but after the renovation it is much simpler. Because of the overhead contact line originally on the north-south routes , it is slightly higher than the CMP stations located under similar vaults. It has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m, sufficient for five-car trains. Immediately to the east of the station, the line turns in a tight 90-degree curve to the north under Rue Bourdaloue.
The station has an entrance at both ends. The eastern entrance is to the side in front of the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette church; it does not have the decor typical of the north-south, but a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style with the word METRO. There is an additional exit with an escalator. The second entrance west of Rue Saint-Georges is not noticeably marked.
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.
