République (French pronunciation:[ʁepyblik]ⓘ) is astation on lines3,5,8,9 and11 of theParis Métro. It is located under thePlace de la République, at the tripoint border of the3rd,10th and11th arrondissements. It is an important interchange station; its 16.6 million users (2019) make it the seventh busiest out of 302 on the Métro network.
The station is located under Place de la République, the platforms established:
The station opened on 19 October 1904 as part of the first section of Line 3 betweenPère Lachaise andVilliers. The Line 5 platforms opened on 15 November 1907 with the extension of the line fromJacques Bonsergent (then called Lancry) toGare du Nord. The Line 8 platforms opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of the line fromRichelieu–Drouot toPorte de Charenton. The Line 9 platforms opened on 10 December 1933 with the extension of the line from Richelieu-Drouot toPorte de Montreuil. The Line 11 platforms opened on 28 April 1935 with the opening of the line fromChâtelet toPorte des Lilas.
It is named after thePlace de la République, which was named to commemorate theFirst,Second andThird French Republics in 1879.
The platforms of Line 3 were among the first to receive a metallic bodywork after 1952, while those of Line 5 were renovated after 1969 by adopting the Mouton-Duvernet style with vertically-aligned multi-toned tiles, cutting radically with the dominant white of the original metro, as well as the light frames characteristic of this type of arrangement, which was then supplemented with Motte style seats and red sit-stand bars. Larger Mouton style tiles placed vertically also cover certain outlets of the access corridors to Lines 3 and 11. The platforms of Lines 8, 9 and 11 were modernised in Andreu-Motte style, in yellow for the first two stations and red for the third as was done to a third of other the stations on the network between 1974 and 1984, while those on Line 3 lost their metal panels after 1988 in favour of aOuï-dire decoration, in this case blue.
As part of the RATPRenouveau du métro programme, the station's corridors and the platforms on Line 5 were modernised on 28 June 2010,[1] which notably allowed the renewal of lighting and earthenware tiles, the installation of new signage, a sales andcomptoir-club counter, as well as the creation of four automatic ticket machines, anticipating the redevelopment programme by the City of Paris of the Place de la République.[2] These latest above ground works are suspected to be the cause of numerous water leakages in the station, destroying the repairs completed three years earlier. The cost of repairs is estimated at eight million euros.[3]
From 30 June to 3 August 2018, the platforms of Line 11 are the first of the latter to be raised and tiled for their adaptation as part of its extension toRosny–Bois-Perrier.[4]
The station is the seventh in the Métro network in terms of traffic, with 18,327,920 incoming passengers in 2018.[5]

The Line 3 station has a standard configuration with two platforms separated by metro tracks. The decoration is in theOuï-dire style in a blue colour. The frames for lighting, in the same colour, are supported by curved supports in the shape of ascythe. Indirect lighting is bicolour (very pale blue and white), unlike other lighting strips of this style where it is a vivid multicolour. The white ceramic tiles are flat and cover the walls, the vault, and the tunnel exit. The advertising frames are white and cylindrical, and the platforms are equipped with Motte style seats as well as blue sit-stand benches.
The station on Line 5 is also styled in a classic layout. The decoration is in the style used for most Métro stations. The lighting strips are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of theRenouveau du métro des années 2000; the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault, and the tunnel exit. The advertising frames are in white ceramic and the seats are green Akiko style.
The stations of Lines 8 and 9 are made up of two half-stations per line, those of Line 9 framing those of Line 8. The platforms of these two lines, slightly curved at the western end, are furnished in the styleAndreu-Motteand have a yellow light canopy, benches in flat orange-yellow tiling (except the platform for Pont de Sèvres almost deprived of benches but with a corridor opening treated with the same tiles) as well as yellow Motte seats. These arrangements are combined with white bevelled tiling for the two lines, while the staircase surrounds and the surface of the bench seats on the platform towards Pont de Sèvres are treated with white flat tiling. The advertising frames are metallic.
Finally, the station on Line 11 is also of standard configuration. It is decorated in theAndreu-Motte style with two red lighting frames, benches and outlets of the corridors are of flat tiles of the same colour and red Motte seats. The walls, the vault and the tunnel exits are covered with flat white tiles. The advertising frames are metallic, and the platforms are tiled in anthracite grey.
For each stopping point, the vault is elliptical, and the name of the station is written inParisine font on enamelled plates.
The station is served by lines 20, 56, 75 and 91 of theRATP bus network as well as, at night, by lines N01, N02, N12, N23, N141 and N142 of theNoctilien bus network.
