Colonel Fabien (French pronunciation: [kɔlɔnɛl fabjɛ̃]) is a station on Paris Métro Line 2, on the border of the 10th and 19th arrondissements under the Boulevard de la Vilette.

Location

The station is located under Boulevard de la Villette, to the southeast of Place du Colonel Fabien. Oriented approximately along a northwest/southeast axis, it is positioned between the Jaurès and Belleville metro stations. In the direction of Porte Dauphine, this is the last underground station before the above-ground section of the line.

History

The station was opened on 31 January 1903 as part of the extension of line 2 from Anvers to Bagnolet (now called Alexandre Dumas). It was originally named Combat after the Place du Combat, which was named after the Barrière du Combat, a gate built for the collection of taxation as part of the Wall of the Farmers-General; the gate was built between 1784 and 1788 and demolished after the Paris Commune of 1871. Its name reflected the animal fighting held there between 1778 and 1850. On 19 August 1945, the Place and station were renamed after Colonel Pierre-Georges Fabien, who shot a German soldier to death at Barbès – Rochechouart metro station, marking the beginning of the armed French Resistance in Paris.

As part of the RATP Renouveau du métro program, the station was renovated in the course of the 2000s.

In 2020, with the COVID-19 crisis, 2,378,863 passengers entered this station, which places it at the 94th position of metro stations for its use.^[1]
