Plaisance (French pronunciation: [plɛzɑ̃s] ) is a station on line Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the 14th arrondissement.
It is named after the Château du Maine which was built in the 17th century and possessed a large park. The word "plaisance" is equivalent to the English word "pleasance", that is a pleasure garden. It was purchased in 1842 by a surveyor called Couesnon whose son subdivided it, creating the district of Plaisance between 1858 and 1860, which became one of the largest slums in Paris. The Compagnie générale des omnibus (a major 19th century operator of horse buses and later trams and motor buses) razed the castle to build garages.
History
The station opened on 21 January 1937 as part of the initial section of the old line 14 between Porte de Vanves and Bienvenüe (today known as Montparnasse–Bienvenue). On 9 November 1976, 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 and platform lighting were renovated and modernised on 8 November 2002.
On 24 December 2018, a woman committed suicide at the station, interrupting traffic on the line between Montparnasse-Bienvenüe and Châtillon–Montrouge for over two hours in the evening.
In 2019, the station was used by 4,784,211 passengers, making it the 87th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.
In 2020, the station was used by 2,590,236 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 79th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.
In 2021, the station was used by 3,521,753 passengers, making it the 76th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.
