Maisons-Alfort–Stade (French pronunciation: [mɛzɔ̃ alfɔʁ stad]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Maisons-Alfort. It is named after the commune the station is situated in, as well as the nearby Stade Auguste Delaune.

History

The station opened on 19 September 1970 as part of the extension of the line from Charenton–Écoles, serving as its eastern terminus until it was further extended to Maisons-Alfort–Les Juilliottes on 27 April 1972. This began a new wave of network expansions after a 18-year break due to limited financial resources during the post-war period. It marks the first appearance of "box stations", characterised by its rectangular shape due its cut-and-cover method of construction.

In 2019, the station was used by 2,330,375 passengers, making it the 221st busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[1]

In 2020, the station was used by 1,393,467 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 186th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[2]

In 2021, the station was used by 1,702,479 passengers, making it the 208th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[3]
