Botzaris station

Botzaris (French pronunciation: [bɔtsaʁis]) is a station on Line 7bis of the Paris Métro.

The station opened on 18 January 1911 as part of a branch of line 7 from Louis Blanc to Pré-Saint-Gervais, 18 days after the commissioning of the first section of line 7 between Opéra and Porte de la Villette due to difficulties during its construction.

[citation needed] As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station was renovated and modernised on 25 April 2003.

[4] The station has a single Guimard entrance at rue Botzaris leading to the right of the south-eastern end of Parc des Buttes-Chaumont,[citation needed] Botzaris has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms.

A central wall exists between the tracks to better suit the geological constraints of the terrain and to strengthen the station box.
