The Rue de la Pompe metro station is an underground station on line 9 of the Paris Métro . It is one of five of the more than 300 metro stations of the Métro that have the word “Rue” (street) in their name. In the plans of the S-Bahn- like RER it is recorded as a transfer option to its line C , but the RER station Avenue Henri Martin is 400 m away and can only be reached via the street.

location

The station is located in the Quartier de la Muette in the 16th arrondissement of Paris . It is located lengthways below the Avenue Georges-Mandel east of its intersection with the Rue de la Pompe .

Surname

The station is named after the Rue de la Pompe. Their name refers to a pump (fr: pompe) that supplied the fountains of the Château de la Muette with water.

The station had the suffix "Avenue Georges-Mandel". Georges Mandel (1885–1944) was a politician and a member of the Resistance during World War II . In July 1944, the Vichy regime had him murdered by militiamen .

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.

Immediately to the west of the station, the route takes a tight left curve under the Rue de la Pompe. Two entrances are on the north side of Avenue Georges-Mandel before the intersection with Rue de la Pompe, one of which is marked by a “Val d'Osne” candelabra. A little further east is an additional exit with escalator.

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 the last MF 67 train ran on line 9 on December 14, 2016.
