Metro Makeovers for the Abandoned Stations of Paris
This is what the station currently looks like today…
Built in 1906 in the 4th arrondissement of Paris and closed in 1936, Arsenal is today used as a sort of dumping ground by RATP (the transport operator of Paris) for testing equipment. While some of the ghost stations were closed down due to a lack of passenger use, others never even saw a single traveler on their platforms after planning was scrapped and access from the streets above was never even built.
The ghosts of the Parisian underground could soon be resurrected,
if city voters play their cards right in the upcoming mayoral elections. Promising candidate Nathalie Koziuscot-Morizet, who would become the first female to ever hold the post in the capital, has released the first sketches of her plans to reclaim the city of light’s abandoned stations:

"I wanted to say that we don't have to cut trees to have paper for drawing or painting," she said.
"I think it's important to raise people's awareness about the really bad condition of our planet."
