Gare de La Bastille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gare de La Bastille was a station in Paris. The station was opened in 1858 and served as the terminus of the 54.1 km long line to Vincennes and Verneuil-l'Étang. The line was opened only to serve the Fort de Vincennes and was extended in 1859 to La Varenne and in 1874 to Brie-Comte-Robert. The line finally reached Verneuil-l'Étang in 1872 and connected to the line to Mulhouse. Part of the line was included into the RER A on 14 December 1974. The station was demolished in 1984 so that the Opéra Bastille could be built.
