Maisons-Alfort–Stade station
Metro station in Paris, France / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maisons-Alfort–Stade (French pronunciation: [mɛzɔ̃ alfɔʁ stad]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Maisons-Alfort. It is named after the commune the station is situated in, and after the stade de la Suze (1935-1970) which still existed when the station was built in 1969 and which has been replaced a year later by the Métropolis building complex at number 99. This lost stadium is the very reason why the platforms have a set of stairs going nowhere on the opposite hand of the platform exit, the construction of the obsolete access to the stadium having been aborted soon before the opening to the public. This northwest access and mezzanine for ticket barriers thus remained blind and were later converted for staff use. The situation is comparable to Porte Molitor station that as no access, being originally intended for Parc des Princes. The name of the station didn't change due to the nearby Stade Auguste Delaune that filled the void.
