Nation station (French pronunciation:[nɑsjɔ̃]) is a station of theParis Métro andÎle-de-France'sRER commuter rail service. It servesLine 1,Line 2,Line 6 andLine 9 of the Paris Métro andRER A. It takes its name from its location at thePlace de la Nation.
The station is under and aroundPlace de la Nation – each stopping point oriented along an east–west axis.
The station of line 1 is in a curve, under the southern part of the square, enclosed between the loop stations of lines 2 and 6.
The terminus of line 2 forms a loop under the square. The arrival on the loop is under Avenue de Taillebourg, and the departure under Avenue du Trône, Place des Antilles and Boulevard de Charonne. The station is located southwest of the loop and has two tracks framing a large central platform.
The terminus of line 6 also forms a loop, with the arrival under Avenue du Bel-Air and the departure under Avenue Dorian, Rue de Picpus and Avenue de Saint-Mandé. The trains run along the loop during peak hours but turn back towards Avenue du Bel-Air during off-peak hours (the Dorian-Picpus tunnel then serving as a garage).
The station of line 9, also in a curve, is set lower than the others, under the northern part of the square, between Boulevard Voltaire and Avenue de Taillebourg. The station of line 9 carries the subtitlePlace des Antilles.
The station serves as the easternterminus of bothParis Métro Line 2 andParis Métro Line 6. The Line 1 station opened as part of the first stage of the line betweenPorte de Vincennes andPorte Maillot on 19 July 1900. The Line 2 platforms opened when the line was extended fromBagnolet (now Alexandre Dumas) on 2 April 1903. The Line 6 platforms opened when the line was extended fromPlace d'Italie to Nation on 1 March 1909. The Line 9 platforms opened when the first stage of the line was extended fromRichelieu – Drouot toPorte de Montreuil on 10 December 1933. On 12 December 1969, the RER station was opened as a new Paris terminus for the Ligne de Vincennes, replacing the oldGare de La Bastille.[3] On 8 December 1977 the central section of line A opened fromNation toAuber.
It is named after thePlace de la Nation, named in honour ofBastille Day in 1880. Previously it was called the Place du Trône, where guillotines were set up during theFrench Revolution.
From the 1960s to 2010, the decorative styleMouton-Duvernet was applied to the platforms of lines 2, 6 and 9 with some specificities. The tiles of line 6 have particular patterns, while those of lines 2 and 9 are bevelled and in two shades of orange, colour randomly distributed on the walls and the tympans. The lighting strips are fitted with metal blades on line 2, while they are typical of theMouton style on lines 6 and 9. On the latter, the name of the station is written in capital letters on projecting backlit panels, while the 'shell' seats, characteristic of theMotte style, are white. This stopping point is the only one to have lost its decoration since the renovation of the station, implemented within the framework of the RATPRenouveau du métro program.
In the 1990s, the platforms of line 1 were renovated in redOuï-dire style.
As part of line 1's automation works, the platforms of this line were raised on the weekend of 12 to 13 September 2009, then fitted with platform doors in April 2011.
In 2019, 8.834,660 travelers entered this station which placed it at the 22nd position of the metro stations for its usage.[4]
This station has six entrances, some of which are shared with the RER. Each leads to the side medians, between the roundabout and the circular path serving the buildings in the square.

The station of line 1, in curve, is of standard configuration. It has two platforms separated by the tracks of the metro and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is red Ouï-dire style. The lighting canopies, of the same colour, are supported by a curved support in the shape of a scythe. The direct lighting is white while the indirect lighting, projected on the vault, is multicoloured. The white ceramic tiles are flat and cover the walls, the vault (diagonally), the tunnel exits and some of the hallways. The advertising frames are white and cylindrical, and the platforms are fitted with silversit-stand benches as well asplatform screen doors.
The station of line 2, also in a curve, is equipped with a central platform framed by two tracks, with the southern one being bordered by a 'dead platform' protected by a fence and partially used as a connecting passage, which connects with the platform in the direction ofLa Défense station from the line 1 station adjoining it. Established flush with the walls, its ceiling consists of a metal deck, whose beams, silver in colour, are supported by vertical walls. The decoration is in theMouton-Duvernet style, but with an orange bevelled tiling on the walls and the outlets of connecting corridors with line 1, a feature that was also found in the station of line 9 before its renovation; in addition, they are aligned horizontally and vertically. The lighting canopies are specific, fitted with metal blades. The advertising frames are also metallic and the 'shell' seats, characteristic of theMotte style, are blue.
The station on line 6, like that on line 2, has two tracks framing an island platform. However, it is the only one that is not curved, and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is a particular variation of theMouton style with two characteristic lighting canopies, walls covered with tiles, with unique patterns on the network, aligned horizontally and vertically, as well as a vault painted white. The surrounds of the staircase hoppers are treated with the same tiling for some or with a flat white tiling also aligned horizontally and vertically for others. The advertising frames are metallic and grey, and the platform is equipped with a few whiteMotte style seats.
Like that of line 1, the station of line 9 is curved and has a classic layout under an elliptical vault. Its decoration is of the style used for most metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in theGaudin style of the revival of therenouveau du métro des années 2000, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault and the tunnel exits. The advertising frames are in white ceramics and the seats, inAkiko style, are green. The western part of the platform, in the direction ofMairie de Montreuil, has the distinction of displaying coats of arms of the two French departments of theAntilles:Guadeloupe andMartinique, thus illustrating the subtitle attributed to the platforms of line 9 only.
For each stopping point, the name of the station is written inParisine font on enamelled plates.
The station is connected with lineRER A served by the Gare de Nation. This line connects the western and eastern suburbs of Paris.
It is also served:
The entrance to the metro is the setting for the outcome ofAbdellatif Kechiche's filmPoetical Refugee.[7]
Ultimately, the station could be connected to theT3a tram line or the T3b tram line, which would be extended fromPorte de Vincennes, which would allow users of these lines to benefit from metro lines 2, 6 and 9 as well as with RER A.[8]
