After line 13, inaugurated in 1911, we had to think of a line 14! Although the latter may seem recent, with its modern, high-speed automatic trains dating back to 1998, another version existed long before that date. When the Nord-Sud company was absorbed by its competitor, the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris, in 1931, lines A and B became lines 12 and 13. But the latter was not as long as it is today, stopping south at Saint-Lazare.
To serve the south of the capital, a new line was built between Montparnasse and Porte de Vanves, numbered 14. Completed in 1936, it was joined by a section of line 10, which had been running from Invalides to Duroc, before reaching Vaneau, since 1923. Detached from its line, it joined the new line 14, which remained in operation until the mid-1970s.
It was the creation of the Miromesnil station in 1973 and the Champs Élysées Clémenceau station in 1976 that changed everything and initiated its connection to line 13, which absorbed it completely. Thus, in 1976, it was extended as far south as Châtillon-Montrouge and linked to the north by the construction of a section between Invalides and Saint-Lazare via Miromesnil.
