Falguière ({{IPA|fr|falɡjɛʁ}}) is a station on line 12 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the nearby rue Falguière, which in turn is named after Alexandre Falguière (1831–1890), a French sculptor and painter.

History

The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette. On 27 March 1931, line A became line 12 when It was taken over by the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), incorporating it into the Paris Métro.

The station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms. The lower portion of the side walls are vertical instead of elliptical, as are the other stations constructed by the Nord-Sud company (today on lines 12 and 13). Along with Parmentier on line 3, it is one of the last stations on the network to have the station's name to be in yellow capital letters on a black enamelled nameplate. It is incorporated into the bodywork of the station.

= Other connections =

The station is also served by lines 28, 82, 89, and 92 of the RATP bus network.
