Billancourt (French: [bijɑ̃kuʁ] ⓘ) is a station of the Paris Métro, located in the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt. It is named after the nearby rue de Billancourt, which was in turn named after the former village of Billancourt which was annexed in 1859 into the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt.

History

The station opened on 3 February 1934 with the extension of the line from Porte de Saint-Cloud to Pont de Sèvres, which was the first extension of the métro network beyond the limits of Paris. Hence, it is one of the first three stations to provide service to the inner suburbs of Paris (along with Marcel Sembat and Pont de Sèvres).

As part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors was renovated and modernised on 26 July 2001.[1]

In 2019, the station was used by 3,099,341 passengers, making it the 164th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[2]

In 2020, the station was used by 1,525,990 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 173rd busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[3]

In 2021, the station was used by 1,967,532 passengers, making it the 180th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[4]
