Porte de Saint-Cloud (French pronunciation: [pɔʁt də sɛ̃ klu]) is a station of line 9 the Paris Métro. The station is named after the Porte de Saint-Cloud, a gate in the nineteenth century Thiers Wall of Paris, which led to the town of Saint-Cloud. It serves the Parc des Princes, a stadium and home of the Paris Saint-Germain F.C.

History

The station opened on 28 September 1923 with the extension of the line from Exelmans, serving as its western terminus until its extension to Pont de Sèvres in 1934. A track exists to the west of the station in a tunnel called Voie Murat which leads to the ghost station of Porte Molitor, ultimately connecting to the southwest of the Auteuil loop on line 10. It also leads to the Auteuil workshops.

In 2019, the station was used by 5,174,694 passengers, making it the 77th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[1]

In 2020, the station was used by 2,576,290 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 80th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[2]

Platforms

The station has a particular arrangement specific to the stations serving or had served as a terminus. It has 4 tracks divided amongst 2 island platforms and 1 side platform. Trains from Mairie de Montreuil can only stop on the northernmost track (the side platform) while trains from Pont de Sèvres usually stop on the southernmost track, although it occasionally uses the two central tracks either for long-term stabling or to allow short-working trips to turn back trains to Mairie de Montreuil for passenger services to allow for a higher frequency along that stretch.
