This is the subway station deepest Paris: 30 metres below ground level. Two round stairs and two elevators connecting the top (room tickets) and bottom (platforms). The name of the station comes from the place des Abbesses, which refers to the abbey des Dames-Montmartre. The station was opened on October 31, 1912. The aedicula Guimard who adorns his access was originally the station hotel de ville, and was moved to the Station Abbesses in 1974. His presence on a station of the old North-South cooperation constitutes an against-historical sense because the company had not used this type of aedicula on its stations.
