Mabillon (French pronunciation: [mabijɔ̃]) is a station on line 10 of the Paris Metro, located at the heart of the Rive Gauche and the 6th arrondissement. It was named after the nearby street, rue Mabillon, which in turn was named after Jean Mabillon (1632–1707), a Benedictine monk and scholar, considered the founder of palaeography and diplomatics, who died nearby.[1]
Although the station is in close proximity to Saint-Germain-des-Prés on line 4 (less than 100 metres away), there is no free transfer between the two stations.
History[edit]
The station opened on 10 March 1925 as part of the line's extension from Croix-Rouge (a ghost station between Sèvres – Babylone and Mabillon, closed since World War II). It was the eastern terminus of the line until its extension to Odéon on 14 April 1926.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and modernised on 21 July 2006.[2]
Since 14 October 2021, it is no longer possible to purchase carnets, a book of 10 paper tickets, at the station. This was part of the first phase of the RATP's plan to phase out physical tickets in favour of contactless payment such as the Navigo cards.[3]
In 2019, the station was used by 1,859,872 passengers, making it the 256th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[4]
In 2020, the station was used by 839,743 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 262nd busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[5]
In 2021, the station was used by 1,195,051 passengers, making it the 262nd busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[6]
