Ternes (French pronunciation:[tɛʁn]) is astation onLine 2 of theParis Métro, under thePlace des Ternes on the border between the8th and17th arrondissements.
The station is set up in a curve under Place des Ternes, between the southern section ofAvenue de Wagram and the outlet of Boulevard de Courcelles. Oriented along a northeast–southwest axis, it is located between theCharles de Gaulle–Étoile andCourcelles Métro stations.
The station was opened on 7 October 1902 as part of the extension of Line 2 Nord fromÉtoile toAnvers.[1]: 16 It became simply line 2 on 17 October 1907. The name of the street derives fromVilla Externa (Latin for "external house"),[2] a medieval farm and residence of theBishop of Paris outside the city, that became the name of the locality, which was originally part ofSaint-Denis, thenNeuilly, and was finally annexed by Paris in 1860.
TheBarrière des Ternes was a gate (also known as theBarrière du Roule) at the same location built for the collection of taxation as part of theWall of the Farmers-General; the gate was built between 1784 and 1788 and demolished in 1859.[3][4]
From the 1950s until 2007, the pedestals were covered with metallic camber with blue horizontal uprights and illuminated golden advertising frames, then completed with "shell" seats characteristic of the "Motte" style, in white.
As part of the RATPRenouveau du métro program, the station's corridors were renovated on 21 December 2001, then around 2008, the platforms renovation lead to the removal of their metalwork.[5]
In 2019, 3,329,214 travelers entered this station which placed it at 153rd position of metro stations for its usage out of 303 metro stations.[6]
