Saint-Georges (Paris Métro)
Saint-Georges () is a station on Line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 9th arrondissement. The station opened on 8 April 1911 as part of the extension of the Nord-Sud company's line A from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette to Pigalle. On 27 March 1931 line A became line 12 of the "Métro". The station is named after the "Rue Saint-Georges", which became a street in 1734 and leads to the "Place Saint-Georges", created in 1824. It was the centre of an estate created by the speculator Dosne, father-in-law of  the politician Adolphe Thiers. It was renovated during the early 2000s in imitation of the style adopted by the "Nord-Sud Company", the original architects of the station. In fact, the current decorative style only vaguely resembles the original: the station name is no longer shown on large ceramic tablets (as at Solférino and Abbesses) and does not follow the original colour-coding: the edge of the ceramic name tablets should be brown to designate a non-interchange station, rather than green.
