Le Kremlin-Bicêtre is a station of the Paris Métro, serving the Villejuif branch of Line 7. It was opened when Line 7 was extended from Maison Blanche on 10 December 1982.
This station's noticeable name, often confused with the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation, is actually the name of the commune. It is derived from a tavern "Au sergent du Kremlin", a meeting place for French war veterans around 1813, and Bicêtre, an alteration of Winchester, England, the bishop of which owned property here.
