Saint-Sulpice, Metro station in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, France
Saint-Sulpice is a metro station on line 4 in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, located underground along Rue de Rennes at the corner of Rue du Vieux-Colombier. The station has side platforms and three entrances, two of which open onto Rue de Rennes.
The station opened on January 9, 1910, as part of a new section of line 4 that crossed under the Seine to connect two key parts of the city. Over the decades it was gradually updated, with platform doors added in 2019 to prepare the line for automation.
The station sits close to the church of Saint-Sulpice, the Luxembourg Gardens, and the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, so many points of interest are within walking distance. The area is active throughout the day, though the platforms can get busy during morning and early evening rush hours.
Two of the station's three entrances are fitted with lamps made by the Val d'Osne foundry, a manufacturer closely tied to the early Paris metro stations. These lamps are now rare and are considered among the last surviving examples of that original entrance design.
