Charonne (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁɔn] ⓘ) is a station on Line 9 of the Paris Métro.

In 1008, Robert II of France the Pious gave Charonne to the Abbey of Saint-Magloire, but it changed hands over the centuries.

Only the Organisation armée secrète (OAS; Secret Armed Organization) continued to resist independence.

The Paris Police, led by Maurice Papon, repressed this demonstration, as it had done on 17 October 1961 (when between 32 and 200, mainly Algerian people, are estimated to have been killed).

Demonstrators tried to take refuge in the entry of the Charonne metro station, but police pursued the crowd into the station and hurled heavy iron plates (used around the bases of trees and on metro vents) down onto demonstrators in the stairwells.
