La Tour-Maubourg (French pronunciation: ​[la tuʁ mobuʁ]) is a station on Line 8 of the Paris Métro. It is located to the northwest of Les Invalides in the 7th arrondissement. In 2019, 2,139,593 riders used La Tour-Maubourg, which makes it the 236th Métro station out of 302 for passenger traffic.[1]

History[]

The station was opened on 13 July 1913 as part of the original section of Line 8 between Beaugrenelle (now Charles Michels, which is on Line 10) and Opéra. It is named after the Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg, which commemorates Victor de Fay de La Tour-Maubourg (1768–1850), who was a general under Napoleon, Minister of War after the Restoration and then Governor of Les Invalides from 1821 to 1830.
