Luxembourg (French pronunciation: [lyksɑ̃buʁ] ⓘ) is a French railway station on the RER B line in Paris. It is located under Boulevard Saint-Michel on the border between the 5th and 6th arrondissements, just east of the Jardin du Luxembourg. In 2015, it was used by 5,670,876 passengers.[2]

History

[edit]

The Luxembourg station opened as the northern terminus of the Ligne de Sceaux in 1895. The Ligne de Sceaux was converted into the RER B line of the Réseau Express Régional network in 1977, following the construction of a 2,600-metre tunnel that extended the line under the Seine to Châtelet–Les Halles. The Luxembourg station was rebuilt during this period and is now situated half a meter deeper than the previous station.

The station was extensively renovated in 2000. In 2009, large-scale excavation work began to create better accessibility to disabled passengers, including new elevators. In 2010, this work was stopped due to a building permit issue and for more than two years the ticket offices were relocated to a shelter located at street level. The improved access for disabled passengers was completed in 2019.

On 14 December 1918, a train carrying United States President Woodrow Wilson and his entourage pulled into the station. In less than a month, Wilson would be part of the "Big Three" at the Paris Peace Conference, where the Treaty of Versailles was drawn up and signed on 28 June 1919, effectively ending the First World War.[3]
