Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Redirect Шаблон:Infobox station Charles Michels (Шаблон:IPA-fr) is a station on Line 10 of the Paris Métro. It is located in the 15th arrondissement.

History

The station opened as Beaugrenelle on 13 July 1913 as part of the initial section of line 8 as its temporary southern terminus, and with Opéra as its northern terminus. The line was then extended to Porte d'Auteuil on 30 September that same year, becoming its new southern terminus. It was then named after Place Beaugrenelle (now known as Place Charles Michels). Beaugrenelle ("beautiful Grenelle") was a name given by property developers in the Grenelle district during its urbanisation.

On 27 July 1937, the section of line 8 between La Motte-Picquet–Grenelle and Porte d'Auteuil, including Beaugrenelle, was transferred to line 10 during the reconfiguration of lines 8, 10, and the old line 14. On 29 July 1937, line 10 was extended from Duroc to La Motte-Picquet–Grenelle.

Plaque honouring Charles Michels

On 14 July 1945, both the station as well as the nearby Place Beaugrenelle were renamed Charles Michels and Place Charles Michels respectively, in honour of Charles Michels (1903-1941), a trade unionist, communist militant, and deputy of the 15th arrondissement in Paris. He was held hostage and shot during the Occupation by the Nazis in retaliation for the assassination of Karl Hotz, amongst 44 other people. 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: Colonel Fabien, Corentin Cariou, Corentin Celton, Guy Môquet, Jacques Bonsergent, Marx Dormoy, and Trinité - d'Estienne d'Orves.

As part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP, the station's platforms were renovated and modernised in 2009.[1]

In 2019, the station was used by 4,601,730 passengers, making it the 93rd busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[2]
