Template:Infobox Paris metro Colonel Fabien is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 2 on the border of the 10th and 19th arrondissements under the Boulevard de la Vilette.
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 de la Combat, which was named after the Barrière de la 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.
