La Motte-Picquet Grenelle is a station of the Paris Métro, at the interconnection of lines 6, 8 and 10 in the XVe arrondissement, near the VIIe arrondissement. The station combines under- and above-ground platforms. It is named after the Avenue de la Motte Picquet and the Boulevard de Grenelle.
Toussaint-Guillaume Picquet de la Motte was a Louis XV and Louis XIV era Admiral of the French Royal Navy, noted for his involvement in French naval support for the Americans during the American Revolutionary War, notably in the Battle of Grenada and the Siege of Savannah.
The quartier of Grenelle was constituted as a peripheral commune to Paris during the second quarter of the XIXth century and finally incorporated into the city in 1860 by the Baron Haussman under Napoléon III.
When it was first opened in 1906, above-ground platforms served the Étoile — Place d'Italie section of Line 5 (transferred to Line 6 in 1942). In 1913, underground platforms were constructed serving the new Line 8, which originally extended from Porte d'Auteuil to Opéra via La Motte-Picquet Grenelle. The section of Line 8 from Porte d'Auteuil to La Motte-Picquet Grenelle was later given to Line 10 in 1937 when Line 8 was extended to Balard and underground track for Line 10 was laid linking La Motte-Picquet Grenelle and Duroc.
Today La Motte-Picquet Grenelle is a major Paris Metro interconnexion on the Rive Gauche, and the most important West of Montparnasse.
