Michel Bizot (Paris Métro)

Michel Bizot (French pronunciation: ​[miʃɛl bizo]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro, named after the Avenue du Général Michel Bizot. The station opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of the line from Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Charenton. The Avenue du Général Michel Bizot takes its name from the French military engineer General (1795-1855), fatally shot at the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War. Nearby is the Promenade Plantée—a 4.5 km long elevated garden along the abandoned railway which led to the former Gare de La Bastille railway station.
