Charles Michels is a station of the Paris Métro, named after the Place Charles Michels.
[edit] History
Until 1945, the station was named Beaugrenelle station, after Beaugrenelle Place, the former name of Place Charles Michels. "Beaugrenelle" (beautiful Grenelle) was a name given by property developers in the district of Grenelle during its urbanisation and it was renamed after Charles Michels (1903-1941), who was elected as a Communist Député of the 15th arrondissement of Paris. He was arrested in 1940 and then shot by the Nazis on October 22, 1941 with 26 other hostages, including Guy Môquet (also the name of a metro station) and Jean-Pierre Timbaud, in Châteaubriant, (Loire-Atlantique).
