Montgallet station

Montgallet (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃ɡalɛ]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the 12th arrondissement.

The station opened on 5 May 1931 as part of the extension of line 8 from Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Charenton.

As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and modernised on 19 November 2007.

The station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms.

The increased height of its vault along with the lower portion of its side walls being vertical instead of elliptical distinguishes it from the other stations on the line.
