PORTE SAINT-OUEN
History
Located in between the 17th and 18th arrondissements. Originally opened on February 26th, 1911 as part of line B. On June 30th, 1952 its ceased to be the terminus of the line. Finally on March 27th, 1931 line b was transformed into line 13.
First Impression
- Diversity in the structure and materials of the buildings
- Lots of traffic
Reflection
Paris is really diverse not only in its culture but also in its architecture. Everything stated back in the years where the king had to start introducing bricks embedded on “high class” people’s buildings, so the lower class may want to build their houses with it because it was the material available to that date for the commoners. Nowadays, as I walked through Paris I could notice how much more diverse the architecture is now, and that was something to highlight about this metro stop. From the difference in the number of stories, to the material of the structures, this zone was very architectonically diverse in comparison to many of the other stops that I visited. Seeing this as a sign for evolution and improvement, I would dare to say that is a step into the future. I look forward into seeing Paris as a more colorful city without loosing its historical and ancient part.
