Daumesnil is a station of the Paris Métro, named after the Avenue Daumesnil, which is named in honor of General Pierre Yrieix Daumesnil (1776-1832) who lost a leg at the Battle of Wagram. In 1814, he refused to deliver the Château de Vincennes, of which he was the governor, to the Russians while saying: "I shall surrender Vincennes when I get my leg back." In 1830, once again, he refused to surrender, this time to the crowd, the Ministers of Charles X detained at Vincennes.
This station also honours Félix Éboué (1884-1944), Governor of Guadeloupe in 1936, then of Chad in 1938. He brought Chad over to the Free French Forces in 1940, and as a result was made Governor General of French Equatorial Africa.
