Les Courtilles: station history
Served by: metro line 13.
Did you know?
A line 13 station, the 299th of the Paris metro, and the terminus of the north-west branch since it opened (date not given in the source). During planning it had the provisional name "Asnières - Gennevilliers - Le Luth": Le Luth is a district of Gennevilliers, while Les Courtilles is a district of Asnières. It stands on the border of the two towns, whose names appear as a heading on the maps.
Anecdote
It lies at the junction of avenue de la Redoute, avenue Lucien-Lanternier, boulevard Pierre-de-Coubertin and boulevard Intercommunal, with two entrances. An extension to the port of Gennevilliers, included in the 2008 SDRIF, is no longer planned. Its rank as the 299th station excludes the Montmartre funicular, which the RATP counts as a metro station: it announces 307 stations rather than 306. Tram T1 and several buses serve it.
