Some fun facts. It's one of the deepest stations on the Paris metro system. But despite being one of the deepest (farthest distance between surface and platforms), the platforms are actually on the highest elevation/point on the whole metro network. There used to be chairs in the long connecting corridors so voyagers could rest between the long fixed stairs. But in 2009 they were removed. In the other deep-level station Buttes Chaumont they're still present. As the station is dug out in an unstable hill, both pltforms are seperated by an extra stone separation wall. To prevent it from moving inside the soil.
Thank you! It's strange that there are no chairs for resting at the station Abbesses, although there are 144 steps on the stairs leading up to the exit...😅
You obviously missed the exit of Télégraphe station with (one of the longest on the Paris Metro network) escalators 😅🤪😜 From wikipedia page on the station: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Metro_telegraphe_escalateur.jpg/1280px-Metro_telegraphe_escalateur.jpg and the (former) resting chairs on the stairs, from wikipedia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Metro_Paris_ligne_11_-_Telegraphe_-_Escaliers.jpg
Nice bonus: access 4 “Rue du Docteur-Potain”, inaugurated at the beginning of 2023, comprising a glass entrance building located on the tree-lined side lane of rue de Belleville, at the corner with rue du Docteur-Potain; it houses an elevator surrounded by a series of fixed stairs going down to level -5
Well, I came from exit 1 on my way down, and the escalator looked just like the one that's displayed on the Wikipedia picture. Are the escalators to exit 2 or 3 even longer? But then they would probably lead straight up to the surface level? 🤔

La femme has a song called Télegraphe, listening to it while watching this video really does it!
Nice! I didn't even know the song...☺️
Auch wieder gut. Am Anfang auf der Rolltreppe - fällt das schon unter Breakdance?
Danke!
😂Naja, irgendwie muss man sich ja die Zeit vertreiben - es gab keine Werbeflächen an der Wand zur Ablenkung.
