Saint-Martin station (Paris Métro)
Saint-Martin () is a ghost station of the Paris Métro, located on lines 8 and 9 between the stations of Strasbourg - Saint-Denis and République, on the border of the 3rd and 10th arrondissements of Paris. History
The station was closed on 2 September 1939 at the start of World War II. It reopened after the French Liberation with a lot of traffic passing through, but was eventually closed again as a result of its proximity to the neighboring station of Strasbourg - Saint-Denis, which lies only 100 metres away. In the past, the station served to shelter homeless persons, and the eastern section of the location is currently used as a day shelter for the homeless (managed by the Salvation Army). In 2008, the line 8 tracks were walled off from the platform. In March 2010, the tracks of the station along line 9 hosted a publicity event for the Nissan Qashqai, with many vehicles being transported on the platforms of this ghost station, which was also redecorated for the occasion with a number of lighting effects. Bees have been flying around this station since the 1980s. Current
The physical entrance to the Saint-Martin station is still available from the street. To view it, take the Metro to the Strasbourg-Saint-Denis station, exit the station, and head east on Boulevard Saint-Martin about three minutes, walking towards République. The entrance will be on the right-hand side of the street, in a sunken part of the sidewalk. The entrance is covered in graffiti. Gallery
