History and description

The station went into operation on November 8, 1922, when the 3.5 km long first section of line 9 from Trocadéro to Exelmans was opened. It was built by the CMP railway company and is 75 m long. The two tracks and the side platforms lie under white-tiled, elliptical vaults, the side walls follow their curvature.

The two entrances are on both sides of the avenue Mozart on the south side of its intersection with the rue du Ranelagh, the western one has a candelabra of the type "Val d'Osne".

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 on December 14, 2016, a scheduled MF 67 train ran on line 9 for the last time.
