Paris Métro Line 9 is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro network currently open. It links Pont de Sèvres in Boulogne-Billancourt, the third most populated city in Ile-de-France, to Mairie de Montreuil, the second most populated city of Seine-Saint-Denis in the east, along a parabolic - shaped route through the center of the French capital. With 133,24 million passengers in 2024, it is the third busiest line on the historic network, behind lines 1 and 4, as well as one of the longest. First of the historic lines not part of Fulgence Bienvenüe's initial project, It is also the very first line of the Paris Métro to cross the borders of Paris and service its suburbs, with the line segment in Boulogne opening in 1934 following three years later by the segment in Montreuil. Since then, Line 9 didn't evolve much in terms of layout.

Paris Métro Line 9 in the context of Opéra (Paris Métro)
Opéra (French: [ɔpeʁa] ) is a station on Lines 3, 7 and 8 of the Paris Métro. It is named after the nearby Opéra Garnier. Located at the end of the Avenue de l'Opéra, it serves the district of Boulevard Haussmann. Its main entrances are located on the Place de l'Opéra, built in a marble design (instead of the characteristic iron metro entrances of Hector Guimard), to not spoil the view of the opera house.
The station is connected by an underground passage to Auber on RER A. From Auber, additional stations and lines can be reached via a sequence of underground passages, namely Havre–Caumartin for Line 3 and Line 9, and Haussmann–Saint-Lazare for RER E, the latter being connected to Saint-Lazare for Line 3, Line 12, Line 13 and Line 14, and the latter in turn being connected to Saint-Augustin for Line 9.
Paris Métro Line 9 in the context of MF 67
The MF 67 (French: Métro Fer appel d'offres de 1967; English: Steel-wheeled metro ordered in 1967) is a fleet of steel-wheel electric multiple unit trains for the Paris Métro. The first MF 67 trains entered service on Line 3 in June 1968, and became one of the biggest orders for the Métro, with 1,482 cars constructed. The need to replace the Sprague-Thomson fleet, as well as increasing costs associated with the later-cancelled plan to introduce rubber-tyred trains on all Métro lines, were the main factors for the size of the order.
At its peak, during the late-1980s and the early-1990s, the MF 67 operated on eight of the (then) fifteen Métro lines (Lines 2, 3 and 3bis, 5, 7bis, 9, 10 and 12): the MF 67 also operated on Lines 7, 8 and 13 (including the old Line 14), all before the introduction of the MF 77 in 1978.
