The CMP subsequently started building Line 14 in 1933. In 1976, the line was incorporated into Line 13 with the opening of the extension between Invalides and Champs-Élysées–Clemenceau under the Seine, as Nord-Sud's original plan included a merger of Line B and Line C.Jean Robert, The number 14 was reused for a new line that entered service in 1998 between Madeleine and Bibliothèque François Mitterrand.
