Malakoff–Plateau de Vanves (French pronunciation: [malakɔf plato d(ə) vɑ̃v]) is an underground station on Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Malakoff. It is the last underground station on the line towards Châtillon-Montrouge.

The station takes its name from its location on the border of the communes of Malakoff and Vanves as well as the Plateau de Vanves district, located in the northern part of the commune of Vanves, 60 metres above sea level.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 9 November 1976 as part of the extension of line 13 from Porte de Vanves to Châtillon–Montrouge, on the same day the old line 14 was incorporated into line 13 following the latter's extension in successive phases from Saint-Lazare.

As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors were renovated and modernised on 17 December 2005.[1]

In 2019, the station was used by 3,454,231 passengers, making it the 139th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[2]

In 2020, the station was used by 1,581,749 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 163rd busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[3]

In 2021, the station was used by 2,242,320 passengers, making it the 155th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[4]
