Saint-Michel (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ miʃɛl]) is a station on Line 4 of the Paris Métro in the 5th arrondissement.
Located in the Quartier Latin, it offers a connection to the St-Michel - Notre-Dame RER station on RER lines B and C. The station was opened on 9 January 1910 as part of the connecting section of the line under the Seine between Châtelet and Raspail.
Like nearby Cité, Saint-Michel features a pioneering construction technique, made necessary by the proximity of the Seine.
The station comprises three steel caissons – one for the train hall and two for access at each end – which were assembled at the surface and then lowered into place.
[1] The platforms are 118 metres long, more than the standard length on the network.
