'''Pyramides station''' ({{IPA|fr|piʁamid|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-GrandCelinien-pyramide.wav}}) is a [[Metro station|station]] on lines [[Paris Métro Line 7|7]] and [[Paris Métro Line 14|14]] of the [[Paris Métro]].

==Location==
The Pyramides metro station is located halfway between the [[Palais Garnier]] and the [[Comédie-Française]] theatre. The line passes under Avenue de l'Opéra and under the tunnel of line 7.

==History==
The station was opened on 1 July 1916 during the extension of line 7 from Opéra to Palais-Royal. Due to the shortage of earthenware linked to the First World War, the station was temporarily equipped with a simple masonry coating.

In the 1990s, the secondary station became a transfer station as part of the Line 14 project. A new connection hall was set up on the south side, above the tracks of line 7. The station for line 14 opened with the rest of the line on 15 October 1998.

It is named after the Rue des Pyramides, which commemorates the victory in 1798 of [[Napoleon]]'s [[Armée d'Orient (1798)|Armée d'Orient]] over the [[Mamluk]]s of [[Murad Bey]] in the [[Battle of the Pyramids]] in [[Egypt]].

In 2020, with the COVID-19 crisis, 3,048,580 passengers entered this station, which places it in 55th position among metro stations for its attendance.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Trafic annuel entrant par station du réseau ferré 2020|url=https://data.ratp.fr/explore/dataset/trafic-annuel-entrant-par-station-du-reseau-ferre-2020/table/?q=Pyramides&refine.station=PYRAMIDES&sort=-rang|access-date=2022-01-23|website=data.ratp.fr|language=fr}}</ref>

===Platforms===
The platforms of line 7 are of standard configuration. Two in number, they are separated by the tracks located in the centre, and the vault is elliptical. They are equipped with benches made of slats. Lighting is provided by two tube strips. The vault is covered with flat white tiling and the advertising frames are made of cylindrical white ceramic of the ''Ouï-dire'' type. The name of the station is inscribed on enamel plates in [[Parisine]] font.

The platforms of line 14 are also of standard configuration. The fittings are those specific to this line. The vault is equipped with a work by the French artist [[Jacques Tissinier]] created at the same time as the station: ''Tissignalisation no. 14''. This is an installation using a thousand embedded discs in coloured enamelled steel. Each disc measures 16&nbsp;cm in diameter and represents a stylized papyrus sheet coloured in red, white, blue and orange. The same work is present at the Madeleine station on the same line.

===Bus connections===
The station is served by lines 21, 27, 68 and 95 of the [[RATP Bus Network]].
