[edit] Chronology

  • January 18, 1911: The section between Louis Blanc and Pré-Saint-Gervais was opened as a branch of Line 7.
  • 1967 : Because of a lack of traffic, the branch became a separate line known as line 7bis.

[edit] Future

The merger of line 3bis and line 7bis, connected through an existing rail tunnel and allowing the opening of a closed station (Haxo), is being studied. The line 7 bis would be extended one station west to have its terminus in Château Landon. The resulting line from Château-Landon to Gambetta would become Line 15 and be put in operation between 2013 and 2020.
