About Line 12

This is not the 12th line of the network, as it was put into service in 1910, well before lines 8 to 11! It was originally line A, gradually linking Porte de la Chapelle to Porte de Versailles. Entirely built and operated by the Nord-Sud company, a competitor of the Compagnie du Métropolitain de Paris (CMP), the line was distinguished by the care taken with the architecture and design of its stations. Nord-Sud went bankrupt in 1930 and Line A was absorbed by the CMP and became Line 12. It reached Issy-les-Moulineaux in 1934 and Aubervilliers in 2012 until Front Populaire station, then Mairie d'Aubervilliers in 2022.

Manufacturing

Drawing
Through a single stroke, The Line represents panoramas of cities, legendary mountain tops, or even mythical music tracks visually represented by their soundwaves.
Cutting
Lines are laser cut from metal sheets, with an extreme accuracy. This step is carried out in France by several partners, including a cooperative company.
Gilding
Lines are gilded with 24-carat gold via an electrolysis process ensuring agglomeration of gold on the line.
Boxes and silkscreen
Despite significant production volumes, The Line keeps an artisanal manufacturing approach for its packaging, and uses a silkscreen process to guarantee an original and qualitative result.
Packing
Final packing of products is then carried out within ESATs (work-based learning centers dedicated to people with disabilities).
