Saint-François-Xavier (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ fʁɑ̃swa ɡzavje]) is a station on line 13 of the Paris Métro in the 7th arrondissement.
It is named after the nearby Église Saint-François-Xavier, a church dedicated to Saint Francis Xavier (1506–1562), co-founder of the Society of Jesus.
The station opened on 20 December 1923 as part of the original section of line 10 between Invalides and Croix Rouge (a ghost station east of Sèvres - Babylone; it was closed permanently during World War II).
The station's corridors and lighting were renovated as part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP on during the 2000s.
[1] In 2012, platform screen doors were installed on the platforms, together with eleven other stations on the line in an attempt to increase the average speed of trains and reduce track-related incidents due to the line's heavy traffic.
