Location

The station is located in Pantin under Avenue Jean-Lolive, at the Eglise Pantin and at the intersection with Rue Charles-Auray.

History

The station was opened in 1942. It served as the terminus for Line 5 until 25 April 1985, when the extension to the Bobigny–Pablo Picasso metro station came into service. As a result, there are four tracks and a scissors crossover just east of the station; two are used to reverse the direction of trains.

Its name comes from its proximity to the Eglise de Pantin. The station was an important connecting point with the bus lines running on the N3 road to the eastern suburbs. The role decreased with the extension of the line towards Bobigny.

On the morning of 7 June 1982, after a violent storm the day before, rainwater rushed through the construction site of the extension towards Bobigny and invaded the terminus at Eglise de Pantin. Eighteen trains were rendered unusable and Line 5 operations were precarious for a few days. Rescue equipment had to be transferred from the other lines and Sprague-Thomson Line 9 equipment were hastily put back into service to mitigate the consequences of this accident.[1]

It saw 4,056,872 travelers use the station in 2018, which places it at the 132nd position of the metro stations for its attendance.[2]

They are built in the Andreu-Motte style: they have a luminous ramp, flat tiled benches and orange Motte seats. Flat white ceramic tiles cover the walls, vault and outlets. The advertising frames are metallic and the name of the station is written on an enameled plate with a Parisine font.
