Montparnasse – Bienvenüe, Major metro and railway interchange at 6th, 14th and 15th arrondissements, France
Montparnasse-Bienvenüe is a major metro and railway interchange serving four metro lines across the 6th, 14th, and 15th arrondissements of Paris. The station connects multiple platforms and regional train services through an extensive network of underground passages and corridors.
The station opened in January 1906 and received official inauguration in April of the same year, marking a major expansion of Paris metro network. This opening was part of the early development of the public transportation system connecting the city.
The station serves as a gateway to the Montparnasse district, where artists and writers gathered in cafes during the early twentieth century to discuss their work.
The station can be accessed through multiple entrances leading to Place Bienvenüe, Tour Montparnasse, Boulevard du Montparnasse, and the shopping center on Rue de Rennes. Allow extra time when transferring between different metro lines, as the connecting passages require walking through extended corridors.
The underground network spans several hundred meters between the furthest platforms of different lines, making it one of the city's largest transfer hubs. Many visitors are surprised by how far the connections extend between different sections of the station.
