54-499: Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau ( French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃z‿elize klemɑ̃so] ) is a station on Line 1 and Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the 8th arrondissement . The station is expected to be closed from 17 June to 21 September during the 2024 Summer Olympics . The station is located under the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Place Clemenceau , which is located midway along

108-521: A pylon station . The first deep column station in the world is Mayakovskaya , opened in 1938 in Moscow. One variety of column station is the "column-wall station". In such stations, some of the spaces between the columns are replaced with walls. In this way, the resistance to earth pressure is improved in difficult ground environments. Examples of such stations in Moscow are Krestyanskaya Zastava and Dubrovka . In Saint Petersburg , Komendantsky Prospekt

162-516: A train station for a rapid transit system, which as a whole is usually called a "metro" or "subway". A station provides a means for passengers to purchase tickets , board trains, and evacuate the system in the case of an emergency. In the United Kingdom, they are known as underground stations , most commonly used in reference to the London Underground . The location of a metro station

216-564: A disabled or troubled train. A subway station may provide additional facilities, such as toilets , kiosks and amenities for staff and security services, such as Transit police . Some metro stations are interchanges , serving to transfer passengers between lines or transport systems. The platforms may be multi-level. Transfer stations handle more passengers than regular stations, with additional connecting tunnels and larger concourses to reduce walking times and manage crowd flows. In some stations, especially where trains are fully automated ,

270-527: A fixed staircase coupled with an escalator ascending to the exit: In the corridor connecting line 1 to line 13, a decoration painted on tiles, the Azulejo géométrique , by the Portuguese artist Manuel Cargaleiro , has been installed in 1995. This work is the result of an artistic exchange organized between Lisbon Metro companies and RATP . The city of Paris offered Lisbon a Guimard metro entrance , installed at

324-559: A tabular figures. It is an OpenType variant of Parisine, which further expanded upon Parisine Std. A previous version of Parisine PRO was called Parisine PTF. Each member of the family is composed of more than 720 glyphs and feature around 26700 kerning pairs. OpenType features include small caps, case forms, ligatures, special ligatures, alternates, stylistic sets, caps figures, oldstyle figures, tabular figures, fractions, superscript/subscript, superior/inferior figures, ordinals/superior letters and figures, and ornaments. Parisine Plus

378-454: Is a custom version of Parisine designed by Jean-François Porchez under the ZeCraft foundry, for use with LED displays on RATP buses. Parisine Girouette Frontale is used for the main direction on the front of bus and was designed to be quite narrow to Allô the display if a maximum of content. Parisine Girouette Latérale is also designed at 50% of the size of the main typeface to set information on

432-416: Is a type of subway station consisting of a central hall with two side halls connected by ring-like passages between a row of columns. Depending on the type of station, the rings transmit load to the columns either by "wedged arches" or through Purlins , forming a "column-purlin complex". The fundamental advantage of the column station is the significantly greater connection between the halls, compared with

486-463: Is a variant with alternative designs. It includes extra ligatures over the respective classic designs. Some additional alternates glyphs are included in PostScript Type 1 format. OpenType features include ligatures, fractions, ordinals/superior letters and figures, caps figures, oldstyle figures (SC versions only) and tabular figures. It is an expanded OpenType variant of Parisine Plus Std that

540-410: Is an example. The pylon station is a type of deep underground subway station. The basic distinguishing characteristic of the pylon station is the manner of division of the central hall from the station tunnels The pylon station consists of three separate halls, separated from each other by a row of pylons with passages between them. The independence of the halls allows the architectural form of

594-605: Is an extension of the original Parisine Office font, featuring smaller x-height, more cursive italic lowercase glyphs than in Parisine, a bit like Parisine Plus, extended character sets. Previous version of Parisine Office PRO was called Parisine Office PTF. OpenType features include small caps, case forms, ligatures, special ligatures, alternates, stylistic sets, caps figures, oldstyle figures, tabular figures, fractions, superscript/subscript, superior/inferior figures, ordinals/superior letters and figures, and ornaments.

648-493: Is at the expense of character. Metro stations usually feature prominent poster and video advertising, especially at locations where people are waiting, producing an alternative revenue stream for the operator . The shallow column station is a type of construction of subway stations, with the distinguishing feature being an abundance of supplementary supports for the underground cavity. Most designs employ metal columns or concrete and steel columns arranged in lines parallel to

702-400: Is carefully planned to provide easy access to important urban facilities such as roads, commercial centres, major buildings and other transport nodes . Most stations are located underground, with entrances/exits leading up to ground or street level. The bulk of the station is typically positioned under land reserved for public thoroughfares or parks . Placing the station underground reduces

756-753: Is decorated with tiles spelling the Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen . Every metro station in Valencia , Spain has a different sculpture on the ticket-hall level. Alameda station is decorated with fragments of white tile, like the dominant style of the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències . Each of the original four stations in the Olympic Green on Line 8 of the Beijing Subway are decorated in Olympic styles, while

810-422: Is divided into an unpaid zone connected to the street, and a paid zone connected to the train platforms. The ticket barrier allows passengers with valid tickets to pass between these zones. The barrier may be operated by staff or more typically with automated turnstiles or gates that open when a transit pass is scanned or detected. Some metro systems dispense with paid zones and validate tickets with staff in

864-540: Is famous for its Art Nouveau station entrances; while the Athens Metro is known for its display of archeological relics found during construction. However, it is not always the case that metro designers strive to make all stations artistically unique. Sir Norman Foster 's new system in Bilbao , Spain uses the same modern architecture at every station to make navigation easier for the passenger, though some may argue that this

918-460: Is humorously renamed Deschamps - Élysées - Clemenceau (thus losing its subtitle "Grand Palais") in homage to the coach Didier Deschamps , who is simultaneously honoured at Notre-Dame-des-Champs on line 12. In 2020, with the COVID-19 crisis, 1,735,350 passengers entered this station, which places it in 140th position among metro stations for its use. The station has two entrances, each consisting of

972-535: Is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plaques. The seats are Akiko style in cream colour. Line 13 station has an elliptical vault on its northern part, the second, longer part consisting of a concrete ceiling and vertical walls. The decoration is a variation of the Andreu-Motte style with two suspended light canopies and orange Motte seats. The white stretched sandstone tiles are flat and thin, laid vertically on

1026-640: Is only one vault (hence the name). The first single-vault stations were built in Leningrad in 1975: Politekhnicheskaya and Ploshchad Muzhestva . Not long after, the first two-level single-vault transfer stations were opened in Washington DC in 1976: L'Enfant Plaza , Metro Center and Gallery Place . In the Moscow Metro there is only one deep underground single-vault station, Timiryazevskaya , in addition to several single-vault stations at shallow depth. In

1080-504: Is the Carré Marigny, an outdoor philatelic market. Erected along the outside of Place Clemenceau are statues of victorious world leaders involved in the two world wars : Georges Clemenceau , Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill . To the west of the station is the Théâtre du Rond-Point . To the south of the station are: Metro station A metro station or subway station is

1134-469: The Mexico City Metro is prominently identified by a unique icon in addition to its name, because the city had high illiteracy rates at the time the system was designed. Some metro systems, such as those of Naples , Stockholm , Moscow , St. Petersburg , Tashkent , Kyiv , Montreal , Lisbon , Kaohsiung and Prague are famous for their beautiful architecture and public art . The Paris Métro

1188-659: The Montreal Metro . In Prague Metro , there are two underground stations built as single-vault, Kobylisy and Petřiny . In the Bucharest Metro , Titan station is built in this method. The cavern station is a metro station built directly inside a cavern . Many stations of the Stockholm Metro , especially on the Blue line, were built in man-made caverns; instead of being enclosed in a tunnel, these stations are built to expose

1242-551: The Moscow Metro , typical pylon station are Kievskaya-Koltsevaya , Smolenskaya of the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line, Oktyabrskaya-Koltsevaya , and others. In the Saint Petersburg Metro , pylon stations include Ploshchad Lenina , Pushkinskaya , Narvskaya , Gorkovskaya , Moskovskie Vorota , and others. The construction of a single-vault station consists of a single wide and high underground hall, in which there

1296-546: The Nizhny Novgorod Metro there are four such stations: Park Kultury , Leninskaya , Chkalovskaya and Kanavinskaya . In the Saint Petersburg Metro all single-vault stations are deep underground, for example Ozerki , Chornaya Rechka , Obukhovo , Chkalovskaya , and others. Most of the underground stations of the Washington, D.C.'s Metro system are single-vault designs, as are all the single-line vaulted stations in

1350-623: The Picoas metro station on the Lisbon Metro. In return, the RATP received a decoration in Azulejo . The platforms of the two lines are of standard configuration. There are two per stopping point, separated by the metro tracks located in the centre. Each is equipped with platform screen doors . Line 1 station is flush with the ground. The ceiling is made up of a metal deck, the silver-coloured beams are supported by vertical walls. Light blue glass blocks cover

1404-531: The 1960s and 1970s, but in Saint Petersburg , because of the difficult soil conditions and dense building in the centre of the city this was impossible. The Saint Petersburg Metro has only five shallow-depth stations altogether, with three of them having the column design: Avtovo , Leninsky Prospekt , and Prospekt Veteranov . The first of these is less typical, as it is buried at a significant depth, and has only one surface vestibule. A deep column station

1458-550: The Champs-Élysées. The place is named after Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929), who was French Prime Minister from 1906 to 1909 and again from 1917 until 1920. The platforms are situated: The stations platforms and access tunnels lie beneath Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Place Clemenceau. Originally named Champs-Élysées, it is one of the eight original stations opened as part of the first section of line 1 between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot on 19 July 1900. Clemanceau

1512-481: The bedrock in which they are excavated. The Stockholm Metro also has a depot facility built in a cavern system. In the Hong Kong MTR , examples of stations built into caverns include Tai Koo station on Hong Kong Island , Other examples in the city include Sai Wan Ho, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong University and Lei Tung stations. Parisine The typeface is used in Paris Métro , tramways and buses and

1566-503: The bodywork of the latter. As part of the automation of line 1, the latter's platforms were raised during the weekend of April 18 and 19, 2009 in order to be fitted with platform screen doors, which were installed in December 2010. The same year and until March 24, the station of line 13 was, with Opéra and Concorde on line 8 as well as Saint-Lazare on line 12, one of the four on the network equipped on certain platforms with Ikea sofas,

1620-444: The central and side halls to be differentiated. This is especially characteristic in the non-metro Jerusalem–Yitzhak Navon railway station , constructed as a pylon station due to its 80-meter depth, where the platform halls are built to superficially resemble an outdoor train station. Building stations of the pylon type is preferable in difficult geological situations, as such a station is better able to oppose earth pressure. However,

1674-582: The downtown stations are decorated traditionally with elements of Chinese culture. On the Tyne and Wear Metro , the station at Newcastle United 's home ground St James' Park is decorated in the clubs famous black and white stripes. Each station of the Red Line and Purple Line subway in Los Angeles was built with different artwork and decorating schemes, such as murals, tile artwork and sculptural benches. Every station of

1728-452: The entire platform is screened from the track by a wall, typically of glass, with automatic platform-edge doors (PEDs). These open, like elevator doors, only when a train is stopped, and thus eliminate the hazard that a passenger will accidentally fall (or deliberately jump ) onto the tracks and be run over or electrocuted . Control over ventilation of the platform is also improved, allowing it to be heated or cooled without having to do

1782-503: The family. In 2010, the Gris subfamily was added to Parisine PRO family, which includes 2 intermediate font weights between Parisine PRO Clair and Parisine PRO. In 2013, the Gris subfamily was added to Parisine Plus families, which includes 2 intermediate font weights between Parisine Plus Clair and Parisine Plus. However, Parisine Plus Gris Regular is weighted between Parisine Plus Clair Bold and Parisine Plus Regular, and Parisine Plus Gris Bold

1836-449: The former USSR there is currently only one such station: Arsenalna in Kyiv . In Jerusalem, two planned underground heavy rail stations, Jerusalem–Central and Jerusalem–Khan , will be built this way. In Moscow, there were such stations, but they have since been rebuilt: Lubyanka and Chistiye Prudy are now ordinary pylon stations, and Paveletskaya-Radialnaya is now a column station. In

1890-449: The latter, a unique case on the network, and are complemented by advertising screens as well as special panels from the Palais de la Découverte. The tunnel exits are painted white, as is the ceiling extension of the station since the 1960s when the line was extended to six-car trains. The lighting is semi-direct, projected onto the walls and the vaults above the platforms. The name of the station

1944-447: The level of the train tracks. The physical, visual and economic impact of the station and its operations will be greater. Planners will often take metro lines or parts of lines at or above ground where urban density decreases, extending the system further for less cost. Metros are most commonly used in urban cities, with great populations. Alternatively, a preexisting railway land corridor is re-purposed for rapid transit. At street level

1998-409: The limited number of narrow passages limits the throughput between the halls. The pylon station was the earliest type of deep underground station. One variation is the so-called London-style station. In such stations the central hall is reduced to the size of an anteroom, leading to the inclined walkway or elevators. In some cases the anteroom is also the base of the escalators. In the countries of

2052-408: The logo of the metro company marks the entrances/exits of the station. Usually, signage shows the name of the station and describes the facilities of the station and the system it serves. Often there are several entrances for one station, saving pedestrians from needing to cross a street and reducing crowding. A metro station typically provides ticket vending and ticket validating systems. The station

2106-457: The long axis of the station. Stations can be double-span with a single row of columns, triple-span with two rows of columns, or multi-span. The typical shallow column station in Russia is triple-span, assembled from concrete and steel, and is from 102 to 164 metres in length with a column spacing of 4–6 m. Along with the typical stations, there are also specially built stations. For example, one of

2160-409: The outside area occupied by the station, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to continue using the ground-level area in a similar way as before the station's construction. This is especially important where the station is serving high-density urban precincts, where ground-level spaces are already heavily utilised. In other cases, a station may be elevated above a road, or at ground level depending on

2214-747: The parts of RER parts that are operated by the RATP Group in Île-de-France . In 2015, the Osaka City Subway in Japan adopted Parisine as the Latin-character component of its new signage system, which is gradually being introduced throughout its network. The font was originally developed in 1996 as a custom typeface in Bold and Bold Italic developed for the RATP to improve signage legibility and space economy. The design

2268-481: The same for the tunnels. The doors add cost and complexity to the system, and trains may have to approach the station more slowly so they can stop in accurate alignment with them. Metro stations, more so than railway and bus stations, often have a characteristic artistic design that can identify each stop. Some have sculptures or frescoes. For example, London's Baker Street station is adorned with tiles depicting Sherlock Holmes . The tunnel for Paris' Concorde station

2322-405: The same time, the walls were covered with a metallic bodywork with yellow horizontal uprights and golden illuminated advertising frames, an arrangement which was subsequently supplemented with red Motte style seats. In 2005, the corridors of the station were completely renovated and received on this occasion a specific cultural plan, as well as the platforms of line 1, resulting in the removal of

2376-639: The side of the bus. The Bold font is used for the final direction, and the Regular/Light is used for intermediate stops. With exception of Parisine SC, Parisine Office and Parisine Girouette, each family contains 6 weights with complementary italics but is further divided into 3 subfamily, where the subfamily with Clair suffix includes 2 lightest weights, Sombre suffix includes 2 heaviest weights, and thé subfamily without suffix includes 2 middle weights. Fonts in each subfamily are always named Regular, Italic, Bold or Bold Italic, regardless of actual font weights across

2430-768: The spans may be replaced with a monolithic vault (as in the Moskovskaya station of the Samara Metro or Sibirskaya of the Novosibirsk Metro ). In some cases, one of the rows of columns may be replaced with a load-bearing wall. Such a dual hall, one-span station, Kashirskaya , was constructed to provide a convenient cross-platform transfer. Recently, stations have appeared with monolithic concrete and steel instead of assembled pieces, as Ploshchad Tukaya in Kazan . The typical shallow column station has two vestibules at both ends of

2484-526: The station, most often combined with below-street crossings. For many metro systems outside Russia, the typical column station is a two-span station with metal columns, as in New York City, Berlin, and others. In Chicago, underground stations of the Chicago 'L' are three-span stations if constructed with a centre platform. In the Moscow Metro , approximately half of the stations are of shallow depth, built in

2538-401: The station. This is resolved with elevators, taking a number of people from street level to the unpaid ticketing area, and then from the paid area to the platform. In addition, there will be stringent requirements for emergencies, with backup lighting , emergency exits and alarm systems installed and maintained. Stations are a critical part of the evacuation route for passengers escaping from

2592-529: The train carriages. Access from the street to ticketing and the train platform is provided by stairs , concourses , escalators , elevators and tunnels. The station will be designed to minimise overcrowding and improve flow, sometimes by designating tunnels as one way. Permanent or temporary barriers may be used to manage crowds. Some metro stations have direct connections to important nearby buildings (see underground city ). Most jurisdictions mandate that people with disabilities must have unassisted use of

2646-496: The usual seats being removed for the occasion. The following year, it also received platform screen doors, along with eleven other stopping points for line 13, as part of the action plan defined in 2010 aimed at improving regularity. On 16 July 2018, part of the nameplates of the station were temporarily replaced to celebrate the victory of the France team at the 2018 FIFA World Cup , as in five other stations. Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau

2700-512: The walls and the vault, while the concrete ceiling is covered with black fire-flocking. The tunnel exits are fitted with thin flat orange ceramic tiles, also laid vertically. The advertising frames are metallic and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamelled plates. North of the station is the Théâtre Marigny and the Élysée Palace . Towards the top of the Champs-Élysées

2754-693: Was a version created for RATP in 2005, as replacement of Gill Sans . It became the first variant designed in OpenType. The font was commercially available in June 2008. It consists of over 600 characters, and is metric-compatible with Gill Sans. The family includes font weights with complementary italics. OpenType features include case forms, ligatures, special ligatures, alternates, swashes, caps figures, oldstyle figures, semi oldstyle figures, tabular figures, fractions, superscript/subscript, superior/inferior figures, ordinals/superior letters and figures, and ornaments. It

2808-551: Was added to the name in 1931 following the creation of Place Clemanceau. The line 13 platforms were opened on 18 February 1975 as part of the line's extension from Miromesnil . It was the southern terminus of the line until its extension under the Seine to connect with old Line 14, which was then incorporated into Line 13 on 9 November 1976. From May 1963 to December 1964, like the majority of stations on line 1, its platforms were extended to 90 meters to accommodate trainsets of six cars. At

2862-593: Was based on the proportions of Helvetica Bold but is condensed at 90%. In 1999, the font was extended to a font family for multiple uses like communication material and maps. In 2000, hinted TrueType versions were added for internal corporate use. The name Parisine is a trademark of the RATP. Parisine Std is an OpenType variant of Parisine. A small caps version was produced called Parisine SC, see Parisine PRO for Small Caps. OpenType features include ligatures , fractions, ordinals/superior letters and figures, caps figures, oldstyle figures (SC versions only) and

2916-518: Was released at the same time as Parisine. A previous version of Parisine Plus PRO was called Parisine Plus PTF. Each member of the family is composed of more than 900 glyphs and features around 40000 kerning pairs. OpenType features include small caps, case forms, ligatures, special ligatures, alternates, stylistic sets, swashes, caps figures, oldstyle figures, tabular figures, fractions, superscript/subscript, superior/inferior figures, ordinals/superior letters and figures and ornaments.
