The station
[edit].png)
Arsenal station opened to the public in 1906.[1] It was closed on 2 September 1939, as a result of the mobilization of employees of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP) in World War II.[2][1] The station was reopened after the Liberation, but it closed again because of its close proximity to the neighbouring station of Quai de la Rapée. Today, the station serves as a training centre for RATP agents.[citation needed] Access to the station is situated on Boulevard Bourdon.
Culture
[edit]Because of the station's location (just before Quai de la Rapée in the direction towards Voie des Finances), the station played a key element in the film La Grosse Caisse, starring Bourvil in 1965.[1]
It has been proposed to convert Arsenal into a swimming pool, theatre, restaurant or sculpture gallery.[2][3]
