Sentier (French pronunciation: [sɑ̃tje] ) is a station on Line 3 of the Paris Métro in the 2nd arrondissement.




Location


The station is located under Rue Réaumur, at the intersection with Rue de Cléry and Rue du Sentier. Oriented, approximately, along an east–west axis, it is located between the Bourse and Réaumur - Sébastopol stations.




History



The station opened on 20 November 1904 as part of the first section of the line between Père Lachaise and Villiers, which opened a month earlier. The station is named after a path (French: Sentier) leading to the city's fortifications, now called the Rue du Sentier, which gave its name to the Sentier district, known until recently for the activities in the textile trades that developed there from the 1950s. The station is one of the few to have its entrance incorporated into the front of a building. A secondary entrance is located 87 Rue Réaumur; it contains railings designed by Hector Guimard and is listed as a monument historique.
Since the 1960s, the platforms have been adorned with metallic bodywork with white surrounds; this technique was then widely used in network stopping points as an inexpensive way to modernize them quickly.
As part of the RATP's Renouveau du métro program, the station's corridors were renovated on 16 May 2003.
On 20 March 2018, half of the nameplates on the station's platforms are temporarily replaced by the RATP to celebrate the arrival of spring, in parallel with the distribution of flowers to users, as in five other stations. The new plaques represented a wooden sign decorated with plants, on which the station's patronym is engraved in capital letters.
In 2019, 3,420,249 travelers entered this station which placed it at the 146th position of the metro stations for its usage.
