Trinité - d'Estienne d'Orves is an underground station on line 12 of the Paris Métro .

location

The metro station is located on the border of the Quartier de la Chaussée-d'Antin and the Quartier Saint-Georges in the 9th arrondissement of Paris . It is located lengthways under the Rue de Châteaudun on the Place d'Estienne d'Orves.

Surname

It is named after the nearby church Église de la Sainte-Trinité . The building, erected between 1861 and 1867, is dedicated to the Trinity that exists in the Christian faith .

The addition "d'Estienne d'Orves" refers to the Place d'Estienne d'Orves there. The naval officer and resistance fighter Henri Honoré d'Estienne d'Orves (1901–1941) organized a communications network during the German occupation of France in World War II . In January 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo and shot on August 29, 1941 in the execution site of the German occupying power Mont Valérien in Suresnes near Paris.

history

Line 12 was built as Line A by the Société du chemin de fer électrique souterrain Nord-Sud de Paris (North-Sud) and operated by it until 1930. With the opening of the first section from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Porte de Versailles , the Trinité station went into operation on November 5, 1910.

Line A was renamed line 12 on March 27, 1931 after the Nord-Sud had merged in the previous year in the previously competing Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP).

In 1960, the walls of the station were with sheet metal panels clad the 2016 were removed during a new renovation.

description

Under an elliptical , white tiled vault, there are two side platforms on two main tracks. In contrast to the stations set up by the CMP, the side walls do not follow the curvature of the ellipse, but run vertically in the lower area. Typically for the underground stations in the north-south, the station was built somewhat more splendidly than the stations of the CMP, but after two renovations it is much simpler. Because of the overhead contact line originally on the north-south routes , it is slightly higher than the CMP stations located under similar vaults. It has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m, sufficient for five-car trains. To the east of the station there is a turning and siding track between the two main tracks.

There is an entrance at both ends of the station, the western one at Place d'Estienne d'Orves is marked by a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style with the word METRO.

vehicles

On line 12, trains of the north-south type Sprague-Thomson ran initially , which differed in several points from the Sprague-Thomson vehicles of the CMP. A striking feature was the power supply of the leading railcar by means of a pantograph . After the takeover of Nord-Sud by CMP, this type of business was given up in the 1930s. In the 1970s, the north-south trains were eliminated in favor of the Sprague-Thomson standard design, and in 1977 modern trains of the MF 67 series came onto the line.
