It is located on avenue Simon Bolivar in the [19th arrondissement](/source/19th_arrondissement_of_Paris), near the [Parc des Buttes Chaumont](/source/Parc_des_Buttes_Chaumont), after which it was named. ==History== left|thumb|400x400px|Cross section of the tunnels around Buttes Chaumont and its nearby quarries The station opened on 13 February 1912, 13 months after the commissioning of the branch of line 7 from [Louis Blanc](/source/Louis_Blanc_station) to [Pré-Saint-Gervais](/source/Pr%C3%A9-Saint-Gervais_station) on 18 January 1911 due to the difficulty of its construction in a backfilled quarry. As a result, the station is built with arches over each of the tracks to strengthen the [station box](/source/station_box). On 3 December 1967 this branch was separated from line 7, becoming Line 7bis. As part of the {{lang|fr|Un métro + beau}} programme by the [RATP](/source/RATP_Group), the station was renovated and modernised on 6 May 2009.{{Cite web|title=SYMBIOZ - Le Renouveau du Métro|url=https://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42|url-status=live|access-date=2022-02-02|website=www.symbioz.net|language=fr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014211229/http://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42 |archive-date=14 October 2007 }} In 2019, the station was used by 545,750 passengers, making it the 299th busiest of the Metro network out of 302 stations.{{Cite web|title=Trafic annuel entrant par station du réseau ferré 2019|url=https://dataratp2.opendatasoft.com/explore/dataset/trafic-annuel-entrant-par-station-du-reseau-ferre-2019/table/?sort=-rang&refine.reseau=M%C3%A9tro|access-date=2022-02-02|website=dataratp2.opendatasoft.com|language=fr}} In 2020, the station was used by 242,027 passengers amidst the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic), making it the 299th busiest of the Metro network out of 305 stations.{{Cite web|title=Trafic annuel entrant par station du réseau ferré 2020|url=https://data.ratp.fr/explore/dataset/trafic-annuel-entrant-par-station-du-reseau-ferre-2020/table/?sort=-rang&dataChart=eyJxdWVyaWVzIjpbeyJjaGFydHMiOlt7InR5cGUiOiJjb2x1bW4iLCJmdW5jIjoiQVZHIiwieUF4aXMiOiJ0cmFmaWMiLCJzY2llbnRpZmljRGlzcGxheSI6dHJ1ZSwiY29sb3IiOiIjNjZjMmE1In1dLCJ4QXhpcyI6InN0YXRpb24iLCJtYXhwb2ludHMiOjIwLCJzb3J0Ijoic2VyaWUxLTEiLCJjb25maWciOnsiZGF0YXNldCI6InRyYWZpYy1hbm51ZWwtZW50cmFudC1wYXItc3RhdGlvbi1kdS1yZXNlYXUtZmVycmUtMjAyMCIsIm9wdGlvbnMiOnsic29ydCI6Ii10cmFmaWMifX19XSwidGltZXNjYWxlIjoiIiwiZGlzcGxheUxlZ2VuZCI6dHJ1ZSwiYWxpZ25Nb250aCI6dHJ1ZX0=&refine.reseau=M%C3%A9tro|access-date=2022-02-02|website=data.ratp.fr|language=fr}} == Passenger services == === Access === The station has a single at rue Botzaris next to Parc des Buttes Chaumont. === Station layout === {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0" table |'''G''' |Street Level | |- |'''B1''' |Mezzanine | |- | rowspan="10" style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width="50" valign="top" |'''Line 7bis platforms''' | colspan="2" style="border-top:solid 1px gray;border-right:solid 2px black;border-left:solid 2px black;border-bottom:solid 2px black;text-align:center;" |[Side platform](/source/Side_platform), doors will open on the right |- | style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width="100" |Inbound | style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width="390" |← 20px 20px toward [Louis Blanc](/source/Louis_Blanc_station) ([Bolivar](/source/Bolivar_station_(Paris_Metro))) |- |Outbound |{{0|→}} 20px 20px toward [Pré-Saint-Gervais](/source/Pr%C3%A9-Saint-Gervais_station) ([Botzaris](/source/Botzaris_station)) → |- | colspan="2" style="border-top:solid 2px black;border-right:solid 2px black;border-left:solid 2px black;border-bottom:solid 1px gray;text-align:center;" |[Side platform](/source/Side_platform), doors will open on the right |} === Platforms === Buttes Chaumont has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms. A central wall exists between the tracks due to the unstable terrain and its significant depth–its platforms are one of the deepest in the network with landings between flights of stairs leading to the platforms equipped with seats for travellers to rest. It is also equipped with elevators. === Other connections === The station is also served by lines 26 and 71 of the [RATP bus network](/source/RATP_bus_network). ==Gallery== File:MF 88 Buttes Chaumont metro station.JPG|[MF 88](/source/MF_88) at Buttes Chaumont File:Station Métro Buttes Chaumont Paris 1.jpg|Stairs at the station ==References== {{Reflist}} {{commons category|Buttes Chaumont (Paris Metro)}} {{Paris Metro Line 7bis navbox}} {{Use dmy dates|date=March 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Buttes Chaumont (Paris Metro)}} Category:Paris Metro Line 7bis Category:Paris Metro stations in the 19th arrondissement of Paris Category:Railway stations in France opened in 1912 --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Buttes Chaumont station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttes_Chaumont_station) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttes_Chaumont_station?action=history)).
