Les Agnettes: origin of the name and station history
Served by: metro line 13.
Why this name?
A line 13 station on the border of Asnières-sur-Seine and Gennevilliers. It takes its name from the place name where it stands, at the junction of departmental roads 11 and 19 of the Hauts-de-Seine. Its layout is standard, with two platforms separated by the tracks. It is wheelchair-accessible by lift, with two entrances: rue des Bas and rue Émile Zola.
Anecdote
The station serves the church of Notre-Dame-des-Agnettes in Gennevilliers. The apartment block at 11-21 rue des Agnettes, on the site of the future line 15 station of the Grand Paris Express, is due to be demolished. The platforms of that future station, designed by the agency Périphériques, will be 27 metres deep; the connection is expected around 2030. At night, Noctilien line N51 also serves the station.
