Bonne Nouvelle station

Bonne Nouvelle (French pronunciation: [bɔn nuvɛl]) is a station on Lines 8 and 9 of the Paris Métro.

The section of both lines from just east of Richelieu – Drouot to west of République was built under the Grand Boulevards, which replaced the Louis XIII wall and is in soft ground, which was once the course of the Seine.

The platforms are at the sides and the box containing the lines and supporting the road above is strengthened by a central wall between the tracks.

The station was opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of Line 8 from Richelieu – Drouot to Porte de Charenton.

In tribute to the area's contribution to the theatrical and cinematic arts, the signage for the Bonne Nouvelle station is done up in a fashion similar to the Hollywood sign.
