La Tour-Maubourg ({{IPA|fr|la tuʁ mobuʁ}}) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro. It is located to the northwest of Hôtel des Invalides in the 7th arrondissement. It is named after the Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg, which in turn is named after Victor de Fay de La Tour-Maubourg (1768–1850), a general in the First Empire and Minister of War after the Restoration. He also served as the governor of the nearby Hôtel des Invalides from 1821 to 1830.
History

As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and modernised on 10 March 2006.{{Cite web |title=SYMBIOZ - Le Renouveau du Métro |url=https://www.symbioz.net/index.php?id=42 |url-status= |access-date=8 June 2023 |website=www.symbioz.net |language=fr}}
