⭐ Core Definition: Châtelet station

Châtelet station (French pronunciation: [ʃɑtlɛ]) is a station of the Paris Métro and Île-de-France's RER commuter rail service, located in the centre of medieval Paris, on the border between the 1st and 4th arrondissements. It serves RER A, B and D, as well as lines 1, 4, 7, 11, and 14 of the Paris Métro; it is the southern terminus of Line 11. The station is made up of two parts connected by a long corridor: lines 7 and 11 under the Place du Châtelet and the Quai de Gesvre (site of the original medieval river port of Paris), next to the Seine; lines 1, 4 and 14 towards Rue Saint-Denis and the Rue de Rivoli.

Châtelet is connected by another long underground corridor to the southern end of the RER platforms at Châtelet–Les Halles, the northern end of which is again connected to the métro station Les Halles. The distance from Line 7 at Châtelet to the RER lines at Châtelet–Les Halles is approximately 750 metres (2,460 ft). It is the ninth-busiest station on the métro system.

👉 Châtelet station in the context of Paris Métro Line 11

Paris Métro Line 11 (French: Ligne 11 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen currently open lines of the Paris Métro. It links Châtelet to Rosny–Bois-Perrier in Rosny-sous-Bois, in the neighboring department of Seine-Saint-Denis. Opened in 1935, line 11 was one of the last historical lines to be put into service, even after the first parts of lines 12 and 13. It was then intended to replace the Belleville funicular tramway, which closed in 1924. The line is 11.7 km (7.3 mi) in length with 19 stations.

Before its 2024 extension east from Mairie des Lilas, it was one of the least used lines, with less than forty million passengers in 2023, and also ran the oldest trains still in service, the MP 59. The RATP expects thirty-one million more in 2025 after the eastbound expansion.

Châtelet station 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.
