About Line 6

Line 6 was put into service in 1909 between Place d'Italie and Nation stations, and in 1942 it took over the former route of line 5 as far as Étoile. It then adopted its semicircular shape, essentially serving the left bank by following the line of the Fermiers Généraux wall demolished in 1860. Half of its route is overhead, as the line crosses many of the capital's hills, and it is deemed simpler to maintain the straightest trajectory to avoid steep ramps. The overhead stations of line 6 have coloured brick platform walls with geometric decorations on the outside and a single glass roof protects most of the stations. In 1974, Line 6 was the last historic line to be equipped with a rubber-tyred metro.

Manufacturing

Drawing
Through a single stroke, The Line represents panoramas of cities, legendary mountain tops, or even mythical music tracks visually represented by their soundwaves.
Cutting
Lines are laser cut from metal sheets, with an extreme accuracy. This step is carried out in France by several partners, including a cooperative company.
Gilding
Lines are gilded with 24-carat gold via an electrolysis process ensuring agglomeration of gold on the line.
Boxes and silkscreen
Despite significant production volumes, The Line keeps an artisanal manufacturing approach for its packaging, and uses a silkscreen process to guarantee an original and qualitative result.
Packing
Final packing of products is then carried out within ESATs (work-based learning centers dedicated to people with disabilities).
