The square of the "father of the metro" - HBM

The square of the "father of the metro" - HBM
This is the name given to the engineer Fulgence BIENVENÜE (1852-1936) whose major work was the construction of the Paris metro. For more than thirty years, devising sometimes daring construction techniques, he supervised the construction and extension of the network, hence his nickname.

LE SQUARE DU "PERE DU METRO". C'est ainsi qu'est appellée l'ingénieur Fulgence BIENVENÜE (1852-1936) dont l'œuvre majeure est la construction du métro de Paris. Pendant plus de trente ans, imaginant des techniques de construction parfois audacieuses, il supervise la construction et l'extension du réseau, d'où son surnom.

DER PLATZ DES "VATERS DER METRO". So wird der Ingenieur Fulgence BIENVENÜE (1852-1936) genannt, dessen Hauptwerk der Bau der Pariser Metro war. Mehr als dreissig Jahre lang, manchmal mit teilweise gewagten Bautechniken, überwachte er den Bau und die Erweiterung des Netzes, was ihm seinen Spitznamen einbrachte.

Merci Pascal. Je dois dire que je l'ignorais quand j'habitais à Paris, pour moi, la station de métro était dans le sens "Welcome in Montparnasse", j'ai juste été étonnée par le tréma sur le "U"...

I am not a city person and for me going underground is something against nature, I am no mole I would say... but understand it is an efficient way to transport people avoiding traffic... and an engineering masterpiece.

Christa1004 club has replied to Xata club
Thanks Isabel. When I lived in Paris, I took the metro every day, it's just the best means of transport: you get in and then get out at your destination, without delay or traffic jams (but in fact, only when there is no strike!!). Today I live in the countryside and no longer need the metro, and I must say that I am very happy with it...

Christa1004 club has replied to David G Johnson club
Thanks David, I agree, the construction of the metro in Paris started in the 19th century and I guess it was like a masterpiece to build it, they didn't have the facilities and machines like today!
