Notre-Dame-de-Lorette ([nɔtʁədam də lɔʁɛt]) is a station on Line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 9th arrondissement.

The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. It was the northern terminus of the line until its extension to Pigalle on 8 April 1911. On 27 March 1931 line A became line 12 of the Métro. The station is named after the nearby church Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. The name of the church refers to the Italian city of Loreto and its Chiesa della Casa Santa (Church of the Holy House), a centre of Marianism.

The station is located within a short walking distance from Le Peletier station on line 7, but no free transfer is permitted.

gollark: In some cases the two of them are the same sort of thing (i.e. self-hosted fora).

gollark: Yes.

gollark: So "not free".

gollark: > you disagree with any moderation except illegal content?By *platforms*, pretty much.

gollark: I think that communities should generally *aim* for as-free-as-reasonably-practical speech, and *platforms* should be generally also as non-restrictive as legal.
