Cardinal Lemoine (French pronunciation: [kaʁdinal ləmwan]) is a station on Line 10 of the Paris Métro. It is located the 5th arrondissement.

History

Entrance on Rue Monge

The station was opened on 26 April 1931 with the transfer of the section of Line 10 between Maubert – Mutualité and Place Monge to Line 7. Line 10 was deviated from its old route east of Maubert – Mutualité to the new station of Jussieu. Cardinal Lemoine was built at the southeastern end of the old route under Rue Monge.

It is named after the Rue du Cardinal Lemoine, named after Cardinal Jean Lemoine (1250–1313), a papal legate of Pope Boniface VIII to Philip IV the Fair. The Lycée Henri-IV is nearby.

As part of the RATP's "Metro Renewal" programme, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and inaugurated on 20 November 2006.[1]

Platform

Cardinal Lemoine is a standard configuration station. It has two platforms separated by the metro tracks and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is in the style used for most metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault and the tunnel exits. The advertising frames are made of honey-coloured earthenware and the name of the station is also made of earthenware in the style of the original CMP. The Motte style seats are blue in colour. However, the station is distinguished by the lower part of its walls, which are vertical and not elliptical.

Bus connections

The station is served by lines 47, 75 and 89 of the RATP Bus Network.
