Notre-Dame-des-Champs station

Notre-Dame-des-Champs (French pronunciation: [notʁə dam de ʃɑ̃]) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 6th arrondissement.

It is named after the nearby Notre-Dame-des-Champs on the Boulevard du Montparnasse; it was designed by the architect and engineer Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923).

The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette.

It was removed as part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP which were completed on 24 June 2008,[1] restoring its original Nord-Sud decor.

The lower portion of the side walls are vertical instead of elliptical, as are the other stations constructed by the Nord-Sud company (today on lines 12 and 13).

Removal of the metal sheath in progress in 2007, revealing its original Nord-Sud decor.
Station temporarily renamed "Notre Didier Deschamps"
