In the neighborhood
Everything you need, just a few steps from your stop.
But where does this mysterious name come from? It dates back to the origins of the Belleville hill and its former name. The metro station is located in this popular Parisian neighborhood. But long before it became part of the capital, Belleville was called « Les Couronnes-sous-Savies » when the hill was still wild. Over the centuries and its evolution, the village changed its name several times before becoming the municipality of Belleville, more urban and densely populated.
In 1860, Belleville was annexed to Paris and has continued to evolve since then. Today, the street and the Jardin des Couronnes that border the Parc de Belleville recall these origins. They naturally gave their name to the Couronnes station.
At the crossroads of neighborhoods
Around the Couronnes metro station, a 5 to 10-minute walk is enough to reach the numerous restaurants, bars, and shops in the different neighborhoods surrounding the station: Belleville, Ménilmontant, and Parmentier. The Edith Piaf Museum, hotels, and theaters are also accessible within minutes.
The rest of the neighborhood is home to several schools and religious buildings in the 11th and 20th arrondissements.
Finally, to enjoy a little Parisian stroll, the large Parc de Belleville with a panoramic view of the Eiffel Tower is a 5-minute walk from the metro. The park also provides access to the rest of the Belleville neighborhood.
A 100% Parisian entrance
You can't miss the superb entrance to the Couronnes station! Its guardrail and arch in a typically Parisian style decorate and indicate the location of the underground stairs. This work was created by the architect Hector Guimard. This unique Art Nouveau style has become one of the symbols of Paris and has made the Paris metro famous worldwide.
At the beginning of the 20th century, some types of Guimard entrances were much larger: for example, the entrance to the Bastille station was an entire pavilion. Nowadays, these pavilions no longer exist, but there are still three covered entrances in Paris: Abbesses, Porte Dauphine, and Châtelet.
The entrance of the Couronnes metro station, inaugurated in 1903, is one of the 167 station entrances in the Guimard collection! Today, there are 87 of them remaining in Paris, all listed in the additional inventory of Historic Monuments.
There are 308 metro stations in Paris and the surrounding suburbs.
