Arsenal station (Paris Metro)

Arsenal station opened to the public in 1906. It was closed on 2 September 1939, as a result of the mobilization of employees of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) in World War II. The station was reopened after the Liberation, but it closed again because of its close proximity to the neighbouring station of Quai de la Rapée. Today, the station serves as a training centre for RATP agents. Access to the station is situated on Boulevard Bourdon. ==Culture==

Because of the station's location (just before in the direction towards ), the station played a key element in the film La Grosse Caisse, starring Bourvil in 1965. ==References==
