Romainville: station history
Served by: metro line 11.
Did you know?
The line 11 station was first known by the project name « Place Carnot ». It lies about sixty metres south of place Carnot and some 400 m south-east of Romainville town hall. In the late 1920s place Carnot was already envisaged as the terminus of line 11. Almost the whole structure was built under private built-up land, which was kept intact: only the main access shaft was dug in the open.
Anecdote
With platforms 26 m deep, it is the deepest station of the line 11 extension. The tunnel boring machine Sofia arrived there in April 2021.
