Paris Métro Line 14 (1937–1976)
Paris Métro Line 14 (planned as Line C; French: ''Ligne 14 du métro de Paris'') was a line of the Paris Métro that existed from 1937 to 1976. History Designed as Line C of the Nord-Sud Company—Line A being today's Line 12 and Line B being today's Line 13—before it went bankrupt in 1930, the project was taken over by the other company operating the Paris Métro: the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), which would become the Régie autonome des transports parisiens (RATP) in 1949. 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.

Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform, where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge or tunnel to allow safe access to the alternate platform. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient (trains are usually only boarded from one side) for a single-track line.

Paris Métro Entrances By Hector Guimard
Between 1900 and 1913, Hector Guimard was responsible for the first generation of entrances to the underground stations of the Paris Métro. His Art Nouveau designs in cast iron and glass dating mostly to 1900, and the associated lettering that he also designed, created what became known as the Métro style (''style Métro'') and popularized Art Nouveau. However, arbiters of style were scandalized and the public was also less enamored of his more elaborate entrances. In 1904 his design for the Opéra (Paris Métro), Opéra station at Place de l'Opéra was rejected and his association with the Métro ended; many of his station entrances have been demolished, including all three of the pavilion type (at Bastille (Paris Métro), Bastille and on Avenue de Wagram at Charles de Gaulle–Étoile (Paris Métro and RER), Étoile). Those that remain are now all protected Monument historique, historical monuments, one has been reconstituted, and some originals and replicas also survive outsid ...
