PORTE DE CLICHY
History
Located in the 17th arrondissement, and part of the north-western branch of line 13. January 20th, 1912 the station opened as part of the second branch of line B from La Fourche. March 27th, 1931, line B turned into line 13 of the Paris metro. This station is named after a gate on the Thiers wall of Paris on the nineteenth century which led to Clichy.
First Impression
- Lots of luxurious building.
- Few to no people in the area.
- Interviewed said that the zone was mostly populated by old citizens.
- Near the Tribunal de Paris
Reflection
From the moment you step out of the metro you could see that this was a good zone in Paris. Everything was clean and the station is really fancy in comparison to many other in the same line. Once you step out all you can see is tall – about 10 story- buildings, and not much people on the streets. As we interviewed a guy from a store, he was able to give us a little more insight to this zone. We found out the zone was pretty quiet because it was a zone were retired people lived. There all you could feel is peace. We approached a park that even had a public garden were people can plant and grow different stuff. The are seemed well accommodated for old peoples life to have everything at their reach without the need to go far from where they lived.
