List of stations of the Paris Métro

Marx Dormoy is a station of the Paris Métro named after Marx Dormoy (1888-1941), who was the Socialist Mayor of Montlucon, a Deputy and later a Senator in the French Parliament. He was Minister of the Interior in 1937 and 1938. He was assassinated by Cagoulards.

[edit] History

Until 1946 the station was called Torcy after Colbert de Torcy (1665-1746), who was a nephew of Colbert and a diplomat and Foreign Minister under Louis XIV. He was very active in the treaties of Utrecht (1713) and Ralstatt (1714).
