Saint-Denis - Porte de Paris Metro Station

Saint-Denis–Porte de Paris (French pronunciation: ​[sɛ̃ dəni pɔʁt də paʁi]) is a station on Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Saint-Denis.

History

The station opened on 26 May 1976 when the line was extended from Carrefour Pleyel to Basilique de Saint-Denis. It was later renovated for the opening of the Stade de France to enable it to handle large flows of passengers. It now has a large hall with many gates to channel large crowds using the station to attend events at the Stade de France.

Since the end of 2012, its platforms have been fitted with platform screen doors. In 2014, the station became the southern terminus of Île-de-France tramway Line 8.
