Mabillon (French pronunciation: [mabijɔ̃]) is a station on line 10 of the Paris Metro, located at the heart of the Rive Gauche and the 6th arrondissement.
It was named after the nearby street, rue Mabillon, which in turn was named after Jean Mabillon (1632–1707), a Benedictine monk and scholar, considered the founder of palaeography and diplomatics, who died nearby.
The station opened on 10 March 1925 as part of the line's extension from Croix-Rouge (a ghost station between Sèvres – Babylone and Mabillon, closed since World War II).
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated and modernised on 21 July 2006.
