 la muette is a station on line 9 of the paris mÃ©tro, in france, named after the chaussÃ©e de la muette, a nearby street. the station opened on 8 november 1922 with the opening of the first section of the line from trocadÃ©ro to exelmans. the chaussÃ©e de la muette is named after the chÃ¢teau de la muette,which was converted from a hunting lodge to a small castle for margaret of valois, the first wife of king henry iv of france. the meaning of the name of the hunting lodge is not known. it may have derived from "muete", a spelling which appears frequently up to the end of the eighteenth century and which signifies a pack of deer-hounds (meute); it may have come from the "mues" or horns which stags shed in the autumn; or again from the "mue" or moulting-period of hunting hawks. the old chÃ¢teau was demolished in the 1920s to make room for a wealthy housing estate. a new chÃ¢teau was built nearby for baron henri james de rothschild (1872â1947) in 1922. this is now the headquarters for the organisation for economic co-operation and development. == station layout == {|table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;border-top:solid 1px gray;" width=50 valign=top|street level |} {|table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;border-top:solid 1px gray;" width=50 valign=top|b1 |style="border-top:solid 1px gray;border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width=100 valign=top|mezzanine |} {|table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=3 |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width=50 rowspan=10 valign=top|line 9 platforms |style="border-top:solid 1px gray;border-right:solid 2px black;border-left:solid 2px black;border-bottom:solid 2px black;" colspan=2|side platform, doors will open on the right |- |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width=100|westbound |style="border-bottom:solid 1px gray;" width=390|â 20px 20px toward pont de sÃ¨vres (ranelagh) |- |eastbound |â 20px 20px toward mairie de montreuil (rue de la pompe) â
