About Line 13

This is not the 13th metro line in Paris, as it was opened in 1911, well before lines 8 to 11! It was originally line B, linking Saint-Lazare to the Porte de Clichy and Saint-Ouen. 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 given to the architecture and design of its stations. Nord-Sud went bankrupt in 1930 and Line B, absorbed by the CMP, became line 13. It did not take its current route until 1976, when it merged with the former line 14, which linked Invalides to Porte de Vanves. The same year, it was extended to the south to Châtillon-Montrouge and to the north to the Saint-Denis basilica. It reached the municipalities of Asnières and Gennevilliers in 1980 as far as Gabriel Péri station, then Les Courtilles in 2008. On the other branch, it reached Saint-Denis-Université in 1998.

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).
