Ghost stations of the Paris Métro

Ghost stations of the Paris Métro are stations that have been closed to the public (or never opened) and are not used in commercial service. For historical, geographical or economical reasons, many stations on the Paris Métro have been closed or never opened, made inaccessible and lie unused, conferring a sense of mystery over Parisians and sparking interest of the Urban explorers.

The majority of these ghost stations were closed when France entered World War II in September 1939, with some closed ever since. Others have been reused or disappeared completely as the network evolved. Five stations were constructed but never actually used, and today still lie inaccessible to the public. Three others were designed but were never serviced by a Métro line.
