Bréguet–Sabin (French pronunciation: [bʁeɡɛ sabɛ̃]) is a station on Line 5 of the Paris Métro, located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris.

Location

The station is located under Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, along the covered Canal Saint-Martin, close to Rue Bréguet and Rue Saint-Sabin, between the Richard-Lenoir and Bastille Métro stations.

History

The station name pays tribute to the Breguet family, including the Swiss-born watchmaker Abraham Breguet (1747–1823), who invented watches with automatic winding for astronomy. His grandson Louis Breguet (1804–1883) invented electrical and radio-telegraphic apparatus and collaborated with Claude Chappe. Later, his great-grandson Antoine (1851–1882) developed an electric anemometer. The sons of the latter, pioneers of aviation, Jacques and the famous Louis Charles Breguet (1880–1955) were the builders of the aircraft piloted by Dieudonné Costes and Maurice Bellonte who crossed the Atlantic from east to west in 1930. The name of the station is also a tribute to Angelesme de Saint-Sabin who was city councillor of Paris in 1777. The station was open on 31 December 1906.

The station saw 2,351,237 passengers enter it in 2018, placing it in 233rd position out of 302 Métro stations.
