Croix-Rouge station

Croix-Rouge station (French pronunciation: [kʁwɑ ʁuʒ]) was the first terminus of Line 10 of the Paris Métro.

The station was closed on 2 September 1939, with France's entry into the Second World War and the mobilisation of staff from the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP).

It was reopened after the Liberation but then closed again due to its proximity to the station Sèvres–Babylone.

The bus stop at the same location retained the Croix-Rouge name until 31 December 2005, when it was renamed Michel-Debré, after Michel Debré, first Prime Minister under the Fifth Republic and co-author of the Constitution of France.

Apart from the street sign Carrefour de la Croix-Rouge at the junction, there is therefore no longer any official trace of the name.
