Corentin Cariou is a station of the Paris Métro.
The station was called Pont de Flandre until 1946, after a bridge which
spans the Canal de Saint-Denis carrying the Rue de Flandre, the main
street of the commune of La Villette, to the Porte de La Villette.
It is named after Corentin Cariou (1898-1942), who was a member of
the Municipal Council of the XIXe arrondissement and shot by the Nazis
as a hostage during World War II.
