Réaumur - Sébastopol is an underground transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 3 and 4 .

location

The metro station is located on the border of the Quartier de Bonne-Nouvelle in the 2nd arrondissement with the Quartier des Arts-et-Métiers in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris .

The station of line 3 is longitudinally below the Rue Réaumur west of its intersection with the Boulevard de Sébastopol, that of the line 4 along below the Boulevard de Sébastopol north of the intersection.

Surname

It is named after the Rue Réaumur and the Boulevard de Sébastopol. René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur (1683–1757) was a polymath who u. a. invented the alcohol thermometer . In this context, he developed the Réaumur temperature scale , which was in use in Europe until the beginning of the 20th century.

Sébastopol (dt .: Sevastopol ) is a port city on the peninsula of Crimea in the Black Sea . After a year-long siege and heavy fighting, it was stormed by French-English troops in September 1855.

Initially, the station after the nearby street of the same name was put into operation under the name "Rue Saint-Denis", the name change took place on October 15, 1907. The city of Saint-Denis borders Paris immediately to the north, at the time of the construction of Metro line 3 it had about 60,000 inhabitants.

history

The station on line 3 went into operation on November 19, 1904, when the first section from Villiers to Père Lachaise was opened. On April 21, 1908, the first section of line 4 from Porte de Clignancourt to Châtelet , and thus its Réaumur - Sébastopol station, was opened to traffic.

description

Both stations have two side platforms on two main tracks. The station on line 3 has an elliptical cross-section, the ceiling and walls are tiled. It has the standard Paris length of 75 m.

The higher station on Line 4, which was built using the open construction method, has a horizontal metal ceiling. Longitudinal girders, which carry small vaults made of bricks, rest on iron support beams that are perpendicular to the direction of travel. In the mid-1960s, it was extended from 75 m to 90 m.

Directly in front of the stations, the routes cross at the intersection of Boulevard de Sébastopol / Rue Réaumur, with line 3 crossing under line 4. Shortly before that, both lines have a simple track change each .

The subway station has four entrances, two of which are in Rue Réaumur, one in Rue de Palestro and one in Square Émile Chautemps. They were designed by Hector Guimard .

vehicles

As a result of the accident at Couronnes station , line 3 was equipped with vehicles that ran on bogies from the start . The five-car trains consisted of three multiple units and two trailer cars . They were later replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which ran there until 1967. In that year, Line 3 was the first to receive the new MF 67 series , which runs classically on steel rails . These trains will still be in use there in 2020, and from 2028 they are to be replaced by trains from the MF 19 series.

Five-car trains of the Sprague-Thomson design ran on Line 4 until 1967. After the corresponding reconstruction of the route and the extension of the stations, rubber-tire six-car trains of the MP 59 series were used from October 1966 , during the first few months in mixed traffic with conventional vehicles. The MP 89  CC series has been running on the line since 2011 .

Surroundings

A short distance away is the Musée des arts et métiers with the original Foucault pendulum .
