Maraîchers (French pronunciation: [maʁɛʃe] ) is a station on line 9 of the Paris Métro in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, located under the rue d'Avron. It is named after the nearby rue des Maraîchers. It in turn took its name from the market gardens "maraîchers" once located there; until the 20th century, the hills of Belleville and Montreuil were cultivated by many market-gardeners whose most famous product were the peaches from Montreuil.

History
editThe station opened on 10 December 1933 as part of the line's extension from between Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Montreuil. It offered a out-of-station connection to the Gare de la rue d'Avron on the Petite Ceinture railway until its subsequent closure to passenger traffic a few months later on 23 July 1934.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platforms were renovated and modernised on 12 December 2006.[1]
In 2019, the station was used by 2,608,017 passengers, making it the 199th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[2]
In 2020, the station was used by 1,316,167 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 198th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[3]
In 2021, the station was used by 1,994,064 passengers, making it the 179th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[4]

Platform
editThe station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms. Like the neightbouring Buzenval station, the lower part of the platform walls are vertical instead of the usual elliptical shape. This is due to the narrow width of the road the station is situated under, only 18 m wide.
Other connections
editThe station is also served by lines 26, 57, and 64 of the RATP bus network.
