Miromesnil (in French pronounced as /miʁomenil/) is a station on Line 9 and Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the 8th arrondissement.
The station is located near the intersection of Rue de Miromesnil and Rue La Boétie, the platforms being situated:
The station opened on 27 May 1923 with the extension of line 9 from Trocadéro to Saint-Augustin. The line 13 platforms opened on 27 June 1973 with the extension of the line from Saint-Lazare. It was the southern terminus of line 13 until its extension to Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau on 18 February 1975. The station is named after the street of Rue de Miromesnil, which is named after Armand Thomas Hue de Miromesnil (1723–1796), who was Keeper of the Seals, deputy to the Chancellor of France (Minister of Justice) from 1774 to 1787. He abolished the use of torture during the interrogation of the accused.
On April 27, 1973, the line 13 station was opened in turn following its extension from Saint-Lazare, which was the first of the three phases of the extension of the former line B of the Nord-Sud Company underground electric railway (known as North-South), in a southerly direction. Miromesnil was its southern terminus until 18 February 18 1975, when it was extended by a station at Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau before being merged the following year with the old line 14 of the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (known as CMP), which had the Invalides metro station as its northern terminus.
The line 13 station is the first in a series of twelve on this line to be equipped with platform doors in order to reduce the risk of passengers falling on the tracks, which is amplified at peak times. The work took place in April 2010 for the preparation of the platforms, then in July of the same year, the installation itself.
In 2020, with the Covid-19 crisis, 2,618,473 passengers entered this station, which places it in the 74th position of metro stations for its use.[1]
The station has four metro entrances:
| G | Street Level | Exit/Entrance |
| B1 | Mezzanine | Fare control |
| B2 | ||
| Westbound | ||
| Eastbound | toward Mairie de Montreuil → | |
| B3 | ||
| Westbound | ||
| Eastbound | toward Châtillon–Montrouge → | |
The platforms of the two lines are of standard configuration. There are two per stopping point, separated by the metro tracks located in the centre. On line 13, the station has vertical upright walls and a horizontal ceiling. On line 9, the station has an ovoid-shaped vault, except at its western end where the walls are vertical and the ceiling is horizontal supported by pillars. This part corresponds to the extension fitted out during the reorganization in 1973, where two large rooms were created to allow a connection with the platforms of line 13.
Lighting is provided by two red canopies suspended on the two lines; small cream-colored ceramic tiles placed vertically cover the walls as well as the tunnel entrances. The vault of line 9 is painted white and the western ceiling treated in off-white, while that of line 13, in concrete, is covered with black fire-flocking. The advertising frames are metallic and the name of the station is inscribed in capital letters on protruding plaques. The seats are Motte style in blue. The platforms of line 13 are equipped with platform screen doors.
The station is served by lines 28, 32, 52, 80 and 93 of the RATP Bus Network and, at night, by lines N01, N02 and N53 of the Noctilien bus network.
