Boucicaut station
Metro station in Paris, France
Boucicaut (French pronunciation: [busiko]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the former Boucicaut Hospital (integrated into the Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou since 2000) and the rue Boucicaut (now rue Marguerite-Boucicaut, named after the philanthropic couple Marguerite (1816-1877) and Aristide Boucicaut (1810-1877)).[1]
It is the fourth of eight stations on the network to be been named after a woman, after Barbès–Rochechouart (lines 2 and 4), Madeleine (lines 8, 12, and 14), and Chardon Lagache (line 10). The remaining four stations are Louise Michel (line 3), and more recently, Pierre et Marie Curie (line 7), Barbara (line 4), and Bagneux–Lucie Aubrac (line 4 and the upcoming line 15).
