Europe is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 3.
The station opened on 19 October 1904, nine days after the first section
of Line 3 opened between Père Lachaise and Villiers.
It is named after the Place d'Europe, a square from which streets named for
various capitals of European countries radiate.
This was the site of the first railway station in Paris, known as the
embarcadère de l'Ouest ("platform of the west"), the temporary terminus of
the Compagnie du Chemin de fer de Paris à Saint-Germain, opened in 1837.
The new terminus of Gare Saint-Lazare replaced it from 1842.
