The station is located under Rue de Rome at its intersection with Rue de Madrid, west of Place de l'Europe. Approximately oriented along a north–south axis, it is located between Villiers and Saint-Lazare metro stations.
Historyedit
The station opened on 19 October 1904, nine days after the first section of Line 3 opened between Père Lachaise and Villiers. It is named after the Place de l'Europe, a square from which streets named for various capitals of European countries radiate. This was the site of the first railway station in Paris, known as the embarcadère de l'Ouest ("Western platform"), the temporary terminus of the Compagnie du Chemin de fer de Paris à Saint-Germain, opened in 1837. The new terminus of Gare Saint-Lazare replaced it from 1842.
As part of the RATP's Renouveau du métro renewal program, its corridors were renovated in March 2000. It was one of the stations to have platforms culturally developed for the centenary celebrations of the metro.
On 25 April 2018, the president of the Île-de-France region Valérie Pécresse, announced that the metro station will be named Europe - Simone-Veil, named after the former Minister of Health and first president of the European Parliament, deceased on 30 June 2017.[1] The inauguration took place on 29 May 2018; the name of Simone Veil is now displayed as a subtitle on new plates, simultaneously with its attribution in Place de l'Europe on the same date in addition to its original name.[2][3]
It saw 1,694,103 travelers enter the station in 2018, which places it at the 273rd position of the metro stations for its traffic out of 302.[4]
