The Trocadéro underground station is a transfer station of the Paris Métro . It is served by lines 6 and 9 .
location
The station is located at the intersection of the Quartier de Chaillot with the Quartiers de la Muette and de la Porte-Dauphine in the 16th arrondissement of Paris .
The station of line 6 is located lengthways under the avenue Kléber northeast of the Place du Trocadéro-et-du-11-Novembre , that of the line 9 west of this place along under the avenue Georges Mandel.
Surname
It was named after the Place du Trocadero , whose name was chosen in memory of the Battle of Trocadero . On the island of Isla del Trocadero in front of the Spanish city of Cádiz , the French army captured the fortress there in 1823 and thus ended the Spanish Revolution . On the Place du Trocadéro was the Palais du Trocadéro , which was built for the World Exhibition of 1878 and existed until 1937.
After the armistice agreement was signed on November 11, 1918, this date was added to the name of the square.
history
The station of line 6 went into operation on October 2, 1900, when the section from Étoile (since 1970: Charles de Gaulle - Étoile ) to Trocadéro was opened as the first section of the then line 2 Sud. On November 5, 1903, the line was extended by one station to Passy , and Trocadéro became a through station from the terminus. On October 14, 1907, the leading since April 24, 1906 to Place d'Italie and until then independent line 2 Sud was abandoned and to the southwest end section of line 5 (Étoile - Place d'Italie - Gare du Nord ). The routes were changed again on October 6, 1942, so that line 6 has operated at the station since then.
The station on line 9 was opened on November 8, 1922. Until May 27, 1923, it was the northern end point of the 3.5 km long first section of the line initially leading to Exelmans .
Even before 1914, the underground station was one of the first to have an escalator , which was in operation until 1959.
description
The station of line 6 is located below the southern end of Avenue Kléber. Line 9 passes under line 6 to the south of it, its station is west of the intersection under Avenue Georges Mandel. Both stations are located under elliptical vaults, the side walls of which follow the curvature of the ellipse. They each have two side platforms on two parallel tracks and are 75 m long. The side walls, and also the ceiling in the station on line 9, are tiled in white.
In the area outside the platforms there are two operating tracks that connect the two lines.
The five entrances are on the Place du Trocadéro-et-du-11-Novembre, they are marked by candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style with the word METRO.
vehicles
Before 1906, the section of today's line 6 was only used by four-car trains made up of two-axle vehicles because of the short platforms at the temporary terminal in Passy . Trains of the Sprague-Thomson type followed from around 1910 . In July 1974 the line was switched to vehicles with rubber tires, and the MP 73 series has been operating there ever since .
Line 9 is still operated with conventional cars. The last Sprague-Thomson train ran there on April 16, 1983, and since then it has been used by vehicles of the MF 67 series. Since 2013, these have gradually been replaced by the MF 01 series .
