Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine 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.

Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine in the context of Paris Métro Line 13

Paris Métro Line 13 (opened as Line B; French: Ligne 13 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro that are currently open. Built by the Nord-Sud Company as a shuttle servicing both Porte de Clichy and Saint-Ouen from Saint Lazare train station, Line B eventually became Line 13 in 1930, when the Nord-Sud was bought by rival Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), while sister lines A became 12, and C the original line 14. Line 13 was extended in 1976 to reach the northern end of Line 14, which it then absorbed. Line number 14, now vacated, was eventually reused for Meteor in 1998.

Line 13 was once planned to be taken over by a north–south RER line connecting the rail yards of Saint Lazare and Montparnasse train stations, but this was cancelled after the reorganisation of the Île-de-France region in 1965. Today, Line 13 connects the western part of Paris to the suburbs of Asnières-sur-Seine, Gennevilliers, Clichy, Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine in the north and to Malakoff, Vanves, Châtillon and Montrouge in the south. Serving 32 stations, it is the network's fifth busiest line, with 131.4 million passengers in 2017.
