Gare de Charonne - Paris, France - Train Stations/Depots on Waymarking.com

[FR] Elle abrite aujourd'hui la salle de concert La Flèche d'or. Comme le reste de la Petite Ceinture, la gare est fermée au trafic voyageurs depuis le 23 juillet 1934.

Cette station fut ouverte le 14 juillet 1862 comme ses consoeurs d’Avenue de Clichy, de Belleville-Villette, de Ménilmontant et de La Rapée-Bercy, afin de permettre notamment la circulation de trains ouvriers pour desservir les usines de ces quartiers en pleine phase d’industrialisation et d’urbanisation. Les trains ouvriers étaient des trains circulant uniquement le matin et le soir pour permettre aux ouvriers d’aller travailler et de rentrer chez eux. À ces trains était associé un tarif préférentiel.

Ces stations furent les premières à être ouvertes sur la Petite Ceinture Rive Droite.

L’architecture du bâtiment voyageurs est spécifique à la Petite Ceinture Rive Droite. Cette architecture est commune aux stations Avenue de Saint-Ouen (comportant une variante de façade), Boulevard Ornano et La Chapelle-Saint-Denis aujourd’hui démolie).

[EN] Today, it is used by the concert hall La Flèche d'or. As with the rest of the Petite Ceinture, the station was closed to passenger trafic on July 23, 1934.

The station was opened on July 14, 1862 like its sister stations Avenue de Clichy, Belleville-Villette, Ménilmontant and La Rapée-Bercy, principally in order to allow trains carrying workers to run serving the factories of neighborhoods in at the peak of industrialization and urbanization. The trains carrying workers only ran in the morning and at night to allow the workers to get to their place of work and return home.

These were the first stations to open on the Petite Ceinture on the right bank of the Seine.
