Notre-Dame-des-Champs (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 6th arrondissement.
It is named after the nearby Notre-Dame-des-Champs on the Boulevard du Montparnasse; it was designed by the architect and engineer Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923).
History
The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. On 1 January 1930, the line was taken over by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), and was subsequently renamed line 12 on 27 March 1931.
From the 1950s until 2007, the original tiling on the platforms by Boulenger & Co. was hidden behind a green metal sheath (carrossage). It was removed as part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP which were completed on 24 June 2008,[1] restoring its original Nord-Sud decor.
On 16 July 2018, the station was temporarily renamed "Notre Didier Deschamps" (Our Didier Deschamps) in homage to the Didier Deschamps, coach of the France national football team that had won the 2018 FIFA World Cup the previous day. Five other stations were also similarly renamed, with Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau (lines 1 and 13) also in homage to the Didier Deschamps.[2][3][4]
In 2019, the station was used by 2,051,828 passengers, making it the 241st busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[5]
In 2020, the station was used by 996,587 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 244th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[6]
In 2021, the station was used by 1,487,256 passengers, making it the 237th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[7]
