Mairie de Clichy: origin of the name and station history
Served by: metro line 13.
Why this name?
A line 13 station in Clichy, opened with the first extension of the north-west branch, from Porte de Clichy to Gabriel Péri (date not given in the source). It takes its name from Clichy town hall, about a hundred metres to the south-west. Built in a covered trench, it is a box-type station whose south-east part is topped by a mezzanine for ticket sales. It is decorated in the Andreu-Motte style, with red tiling.
Anecdote
The station is almost 1,600 metres from Gabriel Péri, from which it is separated by the Seine, crossed by a viaduct, and 1,250 metres from Porte de Clichy. This gap comes from the initial studies: nearly 90% of the town's inhabitants lived within 800 metres of the station. A steep 50‰ ramp, in the middle of a complex interchange, prevented a second station at the exit of the Clichy bridge. The names of some entrances recall the Goüin and Beaujon hospitals.
