Château-Landon station
Château-Landon () is a station on line 7 of the Paris Métro in the 10th arrondissement. History The station was opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the first section of the line from Opéra to Porte de la Villette. It is named after the Rue Château-Landon, a street which was built on property once owned by a family from Château-Landon in Seine-et-Marne. The street is on the alignment of the Roman road from Lutetia towards the North via Saint-Denis. It was planned to become the end of the future new line (created from the merger of line 3bis and line 7bis). It is also planned to build an underground pedestrian connection to the RER Line E station of Magenta, which would also link to the Gare du Nord and the Gare de l'Est. Passenger services Access Apart from the direct access from the platforms of the Gare de l'Est, the station has only one access, in front of 188 Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin. A second (exit-only by escalator) exit was located a few metres south of the current entrance but was condemned in the early 1990s. Station layout Platforms Château-Landon has two platforms separated by the two metro tracks,
