Location of Metro station

Corentin Celton is a station of the Paris Métro.

[edit] History

In 1868, the old people's home of the Petits Ménages relocated from the 7th arrondissement to Issy-les-Moulineaux, leaving a large area for the expansion of Le Bon Marché department store. The metro station was originally called Petits Ménages because it was located near the old people's home. In 1945 it was renamed to commemorate Corentin Celton, an employee of the old people's home and a member of the French resistance, shot by the Nazis.

[edit] Places of interest

The station is close to the Corentin Celton Hospital.
