Pré-Saint-Gervais station

Pré-Saint-Gervais (French pronunciation: [pʁe sɛ̃ ʒɛʁvɛ]) is a station of the Paris Métro, serving as the eastern terminus (actually the far end of the terminal loop) of line 7bis, in the 19th arrondissement.

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.

From 27 November 1921 to 2 September 1939, a shuttle service operated between the station and the former Porte des Lilas - Cinéma via a tunnel called voie navette.

It serves as the commercial terminus of line 7bis and trains may stop for an extended period of time as breaks for drivers as well as for timetabling reasons.

The northern platform, however, is largely isolated behind technical rooms and is used to store trains as well as to serve as a maintenance workshop.
