Aéroport d'Orly (Paris Métro) in the context of Paris Métro Line 14
Paris Métro Line 14 (French: Ligne 14 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines currently open on the Paris Métro. It connects Saint-Denis–Pleyel and Aéroport d'Orly on a northwest–southeast diagonal via the three major stations of Gare Saint-Lazare, the Châtelet–Les-Halles complex, and Gare de Lyon. The line goes through the centre of Paris and also serves the communes of Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, Clichy, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Gentilly, Villejuif, Chevilly-Larue, L'Haÿ-les-Roses, Thiais and Paray-Vieille-Poste.
The first Paris Métro line built from scratch since the 1930s, line 14 has been operated completely automatically since its opening in 1998, and the very positive return of that experiment motivated the retrofitting of Line 1 for full automation. Before the start of its commercial service Line 14 was known as project Météor, an acronym for MÉTro Est-Ouest Rapide.
