Saint-Sébastien - Froissart is a station of the Paris Métro, named after the Rue de Saint-Sébastien and the Rue Froissart.
The Rue de Saint-Sébastien was named after Saint Sebastian who was a Roman officer and helped Christians during the reign of Diocletian, in the 3rd century. He was denounced and died of arrow wounds. In about 1670, the Rue de Saint-Sébastien led to the small hamlet of Popincourt.
The Rue Froissart was named after the poet and writer Jean Froissart (approximately 1337-1400), who reported in his chronicles on European events during the first half of the Hundred Years' War. He also wrote the courtly romance Méliador.
