Станция метро Вано в Париже: История и современность

Metro station in Paris, France

Vaneau (vano) is a station on line 10 of the Paris Metro, located on the border of the 6th and 7th arrondissements. It is named after the nearby rue Vaneau, which was in turn named after Louis Vaneau (1811 1830), a student who was killed during the July Revolution in 1830.

The station was opened by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) on 30 December 1923 as part of the first section of the Ligne circulaire intérieure (inner circular line) from Invalides (now on line 13) to Croix Rouge (a station east of Sèvres – Babylone, which was closed during World War II) via Duroc. The project was eventually abandoned and on 27 July 1937, the section from Duroc to Invalides was transferred to become the first section of the old line 14, which was connected under the Seine and incorporated into line 13 on 9 November 1976. In 2019, the station was used by 1,028,480 passengers, making it the 291st busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations. In 2020, the station was used by 524,526 passengers amidst the COVID 19 pandemic, making it the 287th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations. In 2021, the station was used by 725,826 passengers, making it the 291st busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.

The station has a single access along rue de Sèvres.

The station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms. The lower portion of the side walls are vertical instead of elliptical unlike other stations on the line, similar to the stations on the lines constructed by the Nord Sud company (today lines 12 and 13)

The station is also served by lines 70 and 86 of the RATP bus network.
