Montreuil-Hôpital: station history
Served by: metro line 11.
Did you know?
A line 11 station straddling Montreuil and Noisy-le-Sec, between Romainville - Carnot and La Dhuys, it lies under boulevard de la Boissière and under the grounds of the André-Grégoire intercommunal hospital, which it serves. Built by cut-and-cover in two parts (north and south), it has its platforms about 20 metres deep, on either side of the tracks. Its two entrances, on rue des Saules-Clouet and boulevard de la Boissière, are all on the south side of the boulevard.
Anecdote
The rue des Saules-Clouet entrance includes a light kiosk grouping the vertical circulation to the ticket hall, with two lifts, as well as a fixed staircase flanked by two escalators. In the early 2010s, Île-de-France elected officials mooted an interchange with line 9, which would have made this station its terminus, in order to link lower and upper Montreuil; the project is « no longer being discussed », but extending lines 3 and 9 was raised in the SDRIF-E 2040 regional plan.
