Arsenal station (Paris Métro)

[1] It was closed on 2 September 1939, as a result of the mobilization of employees of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) in World War II.

Today, the station serves as a training centre for RATP agents.

[citation needed] Access to the station is situated on Boulevard Bourdon.

Because of the station's location (just before Quai de la Rapée in the direction towards Voie des Finances), the station played a key element in the film La Grosse Caisse, starring Bourvil in 1965.

[1] It has been proposed to convert Arsenal into a swimming pool, theatre, restaurant or sculpture gallery.
