Points of Interest This station has been modified several times. The current station for line 3 is new opening in 1971 when the Galleni extension opened. The original Gambetta station was further east. Line 3bis uses the original departure platforms when Gambetta was the terminal from 1901-1921. The station's move forced the closure of Martin Naduad station, but the former station is used for access to Gambetta. the station distance between the original Gambetta station and Martin Naduad station was the shortest distance between stations in Paris at only 230 meters
