Église d'Auteuil station
Metro station in Paris, France
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Église d'Auteuil (French pronunciation: [eɡliz dotœj]; lit. 'Auteuil Church') is a station of the Paris Metro in the 16th arrondissement, serving Line 10 (westbound service only). With around 124,941 passenger entrances in 2021, it is the least-entered station on the Paris Metro network. However, because this station serves westbound passengers only, and the RATP only records station entrances and not exits, it is possible that more passengers exit at Église d'Auteuil than enter.[1]

Location
Église d'Auteuil is located in the neighbourhood of Auteuil, one of the westernmost localities in Paris's city proper. There are two access points: both an entrance and exit are available at the Place de Théodore Rivière, while an exit exists on Rue Wilhem at its intersection with Avenue Théophile Gautier.
Église d'Auteuil is located very close to Mirabeau station; the two stations can be considered twins, with Église d'Auteuil serving westbound traffic and Mirabeau serving eastbound traffic, but they each have separate entrances and exits.
History
The station opened on 30 September 1913 as part of the extension of Line 8 from Beaugrenelle (now Charles Michels) to Porte d'Auteuil. On 29 July 1937, Line 10 was extended from Duroc to La Motte-Picquet–Grenelle and the section of Line 8 between La Motte-Picquet–Grenelle and Porte d'Auteuil, including Église d'Auteuil, was transferred to Line 10.
This station was named Wilhem until 15 May 1921. Wilhem was the pseudonym of a French musician, Guillaume Louis Bocquillon Wilhem. However, a municipal councillor became convinced that the station was actually named for Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and so the station was renamed following World War I after a nearby church, Notre-Dame d'Auteuil.
