Malakoff–Rue Étienne Dolet Station
Malakoff–Rue Étienne Dolet (French pronunciation: [malakɔf ʁy etjɛn dɔlɛ]) is an elevated station on Line 13 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Malakoff. It is named after the nearby rue Étienne-Dolet, which was named after Étienne Dolet (1509-1546), a French scholar, translator, printer, and author of several commentaries on the Latin language and poems.

History
