Boucicaut

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 Rue Boucicaut (Rue Marguerite-Boucicaut since 2005), named after the philanthropic couple Marguerite (1816–1877) and Aristide Boucicaut (1810–1877), founders of the hospital. It is the fourth of eight stations on the network to be 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).
