Paris Métro Line 11 (French: Ligne 11 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro. It links Châtelet to Rosny–Bois-Perrier in the northeastern suburbs. The line is 11.7 km (7.3 mi) in length with 19 stations. With 47.1 million riders in 2017, it is the thirteenth busiest line in the network.[citation needed]
History
Unlike most Paris Métro lines, Line 11 was not included in the original late 19th century scheme. Designed to replace the former Belleville funicular tramway, it was opened in 1935 and intended to create a more effective transportation system which could handle the increasing traffic on the route, as well as to extend it to the center of Paris.
Extension to Rosny–Bois-Perrier
In June 2024, a 6 station, 5.4 km (3.4 mi) eastern extension of the line from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny–Bois-Perrier was opened.[1][2][3] The extension provides new connections with the RER E and a future extended Île-de-France tramway Line 1, which will be linked more easily to the downtown and the commuter hub of Châtelet–Les Halles. The rolling stock of the line was also replaced with new MP 14 trains.[4] The scheme was first proposed by the local government authorities to ensure better commuter service to the Northeastern inner suburbs, and was adopted during the 2007 review of the Ile-de-France Transportation Plan. Preliminary work on this extension to Rosny–Bois-Perrier started in 2015.

- 1 June 2023: Cascading of MP 59 to MP 14CC rolling stock begins.
- 23 May 2024: Ceremonial withdrawn of MP 59.
- 12 June 2024: The final MP 59 trainsets are retired from service.
- 13 June 2024: The line was extended from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny–Bois-Perrier.

Being the first metro line to be converted to rubber-tyred pneumatic operation, the first set of rubber-tyred rolling stock to be in service on Line 11 was the MP 55, which operated from October 1956 through January 1999. They were then replaced by refurbished MP 59 stock from Line 4. The MP 55 stock consisted of 4 carriages, as well as the current MP 59 stock. One MP 73 of line 6 is in service on the 11 as well.
The plan, according to Île-de-France Mobilités, was to replace the fleet of Line 11 with the MP 14 series, around the time when the extension to Rosny-sous-Bois opened. Although the new trains will be driver-operated in the same method as the current fleet, they will be 5 cars long, and have open gangways.[5][6]
An initial 20 trains were ordered in February 2018 with an additional 19 trains ordered in July 2021.[4] Production began in late 2020, with testing in summer 2021.[4]
In June 2023, new MP 14 CC (manual transit) were deployed with four new trains entering in service each Tuesdays in exchange of four MP 59 transferred to Rosny-sous-Bois workshop on Mondays-sunset to be retired. Twenty new MP 14-manuel transit will be deployed until the Summer 2023, nineteen new trains needed to be deployed in spring 2024 due to the extension to Rosny–Bois-Perrier.[7]
The ceremonial final runs of the MP 59 took place on 23 May 2024. But the last trains withdrawn on June 12, 2024.[1]
Future
A revised plan for the proposed Grand Paris Express project was unveiled on 6 March 2013. The revisions call for a second extension of Line 11 towards Noisy-Champs, considered a part of the Grand Paris Express project, by 2030, although it is unclear if this goal will be attainable. Should the second extension commence, it is slated to come with a full automation of Line 11.[8] Automation was not implemented with the Rosny extension, though the RATP and STIF had considered the possibility of automating the line later on.
Tourism
Line 11 passes near several places of interest :
- The Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) of Paris.
- The Centre Georges Pompidou accommodating the Paris Museum of Modern Art.
- The Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (engineering school).
- The popular quarter of Belleville, hosting one of Paris' "Chinatowns" and centres of other Asian cultures.
