Saint-Sulpice is an underground station on line 4 of the Paris Métro .
location
The metro station is located in the Notre-Dame-des-Champs district in the 6th arrondissement of Paris . It lies lengthways under the Rue de Rennes at its intersection with the Rue Saint-Sulpice.
Surname
It is named after the Rue Saint-Sulpice. The Catholic Church of Saint-Sulpice , which is consecrated to the bishop of Bourges , Sulpicius II († 647), is located on it.
history
The station was taken on January 9, 1910 in operation than the 3900 m long central section of Line 4 of Raspail to Châtelet was opened. With its commissioning, the previously separate south and north branches of the line were connected to form a line running from Porte de Clignancourt in the north to Porte d'Orléans in the south.
description
Under an elliptical, white tiled ceiling vault with curved side walls, the station has side platforms on two parallel tracks. It was originally 75 m long, but in the mid-1960s it was extended to 90 m and converted for use with pneumatic trains .
The two entrances on either side of the Rue Saint-Sulpice are marked by candelabra of the “Val d'Osne” type. Another exit from the south head of the station has an escalator.
vehicles
Until 1928, 5-car trains consisting of initially three twin-engine and later two four-engine railcars and sidecars ran on Line 4 . They were replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which were successively replaced by rubber-tired 6-car trains of the MP 59 series in 1966/67 . The MP 89 CC series is currently in use on Line 4 .
Surroundings
The Saint-Sulpice church is nearby .
Remarks
- ↑ CC means "Conduite Conducteur" (driver-controlled), in contrast to the driverless type MP 89 CA
