Rue Saint-Maur is an underground station on line 3 of the Paris Métro .
location
The metro station is located in the Saint-Ambroise district of the 11th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under the avenue de la République between rue Saint-Maur and rue Servan.
Surname
It is named after the Rue Saint-Maur, which crosses the Avenue de la République at its western end. The "holy" Maurus (fr: Saint Maur) is said to have introduced the rule of the Benedictines in France in the 6th century .
For decades the station was simply called "Saint-Maur". In order to avoid confusion with the two stations of the RER A in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, southeast of Paris , it was given the suffix "Rue" on September 1, 1998.
history
On October 19, 1904, the station went into operation with the opening of line 3. This was opened to traffic on its first section from Villiers to Père Lachaise .
description
The station has an elliptical cross-section, the ceiling and curved side walls are tiled in white. It is 75 meters long and has two side platforms on two main tracks.
There are three entrances from the street, the entrance on Rue Saint-Maur has the Art Nouveau decor 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.

Remarks
- ↑ Only four stations of the Paris metro network have "Rue" (Eng .: street) in their name
- ↑ Glazed white tiles were chosen because they better reflected the light from the sparse lighting of the early days
