Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox station

Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 7th arrondissement. It is named after the nearby National Assembly.

History

The station opened as Chambre des députés on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. On 27 March 1931, line A became line 12 when It was taken over by its competitor, the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), incorporating it into the Paris Métro. On 1 July 1989, the station was renamed Assemblée nationale, as it is still known today, to be more consistent with the official name of the lower house of the bicameral French Parliament under the Fifth Republic.

Des Paroles et des Actes

In 1990, the french artist Jean-Charles Blais decorated the platform with posters, made up of a series of large black silhouette heads on a colourful background. They were periodically updated. Since 2004 and up until 2014, the artist was asked to imagine a new series of images for the station's platforms, titled La Chambre double.[1] It was updated every three months as part of the contract with the RATP. This arrangement ended in 2014 when the artist had discovered that the installation had been dismantled back in the autumn of 2013 to make way for a new exhibition that consisted of reproductions of photographs from the Photoquai exhibition. In 2015, the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris demanded the RATP to pay the artist 14,000 euros in compensation for putting an end to the display without his authorisation, breaching the contract.[2][3] In 2008, a temporary exhibition, Des Paroles et des Actes, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Fifth Republic, with the permission of Jean-Charles Blais, was displayed on the platforms for three months. It displayed portraits of the Presidents of the French Republic and main events concerning France and transport.[3][4]

On 28 September 2016, Claude Bartolone, then the President of the National Assembly, accompanied by Élisabeth Borne, then the President of the RATP, inaugurated the station's new decor. It was designed and produced by a collaboration between Philippe Daney, the architectural firm MiRo, and lighting designer Timothé Toury.[5][6]

Metal plates on the platform walls illustrates the stone walls of the Palais Bourbon, where the National Assembly meets, with large visuals on it that display images of the meeting chamber, articles of the French constitution, as well as extracts from the Tennis Court Oath. A set of mirrors serves to remind travellers that the Assembly must reflect the will of the people.

It features several themes that provide a contemporary vision of the National Assembly, depicting them through insets into the bodywork on the walls of the platforms such as visuals and videos for travellers to learn more about democracy and to participate more in public debate. When the assembly is in session, a screen broadcasts debates in the meeting chamber or in the committees. A screen on each platform also broadcasts La Chaîne parlementaire (The Parliamentary Channel).

The platform vault features a lighting scheme that changes depending on the time of the day: bluish before dawn, orange in the morning, and calmer during the day, changing continuously mimicking passing clouds in the sky.[7][8][9][10]

In 2019, the station was used by 1,063,551 passengers, making it the 290th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[11]

In 2020, the station was used by 395,997 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 293rd busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[12]

In 2021, the station was used by 611,512 passengers, making it the 295th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[13]
