Bibliothèque François Mitterrand station (French pronunciation: [biblijɔtɛk fʁɑ̃swa mitɛʁɑ̃]) is a station of the Paris Métro and RER, named after the former French president, François Mitterrand, and serving the area surrounding the new building of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), whose site near the station is also named after Mitterrand, and the Paris Diderot University. It is a transfer point between Line 14 of the Paris Metro and the RER C. It is situated on the Paris–Bordeaux railway.

History

The Bibliothèque François Mitterrand station opened in 1998 when Line 14 was first opened. Its architect is Antoine Grumbach, a different architect from the other Line 14 metro stations.

From the opening of Line 14 until 25 June 2007, this station functioned as the line's southern terminus. Further work extended the line to a new station to the southwest, Olympiades, which opened on 26 June 2007.

It is expected that the Line 14 will be extended to Orly Airport. As of March 2021, the tunnels have been dug.

The station Masséna of the RER C closed when the Bibliothèque François Mitterrand station opened, to allow for the transfer of passengers between the metro and RER lines.

Nearby attractions

This station serves the area known as Tolbiac, between the Seine and the train tracks of the network of the Gare d'Austerlitz, which includes the BnF and the headquarters of the Réseau Ferré de France, the BnF's large new cinema, etc.
