Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox station Corentin Celton (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Issy-les-Moulineaux.

History

The station opened as Petits Ménages on 24 March 1934 as part of the extension of the line from Porte de Versailles. It was then named after the nearby hospice des Petits-ménage, a retirement home for elderly couples, as well as widowers and widowers capable of paying a modest fee. The hospice was relocated from the 7th arrondissement of Paris to Issy-les-Moulineaux in 1863, leaving a large area for the expansion of Le Bon Marché department store.

On 15 October 1945, the station was renamed Corentin Celton, after the hospice was renamed Hôpital Corentin-Celton in February that year. Its namesake, Corentin Celton (1901-1943), was an employee there and was a member of the French Resistance; he was shot by the Nazis at Fort Mont-Valérien. Hence, the station, along with 7 other stations, were renamed after the Second World War to honour the resistance fighters who had died for France. The other stations were: Charles Michels, Colonel Fabien, Corentin Cariou, Guy Môquet, Jacques Bonsergent, Marx Dormoy, and Trinité - d'Estienne d'Orves.

As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and modernised during the 2000s.

In 2019, the station was used by 3,438,335 passengers, making it the 144th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.

In 2020, the station was used by 1,774,654 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 138th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.

In 2021, the station was used by 2,504,682 passengers, making it the 134th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.
