Voltaire (French pronunciation: [vɔltɛːʁ]) is a station on Line 9 of the Paris Métro. The station is located under Place Léon Blum (formerly Place Voltaire) along with the town hall of the 11th arrondissement, which serves a lively district.
The station was opened on 10 December 1933 with the extension of the line from Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Montreuil. It is named after Rue Voltaire, which itself is named after François-Marie Arouet (1694–1778), better known under the pen name Voltaire, a French Enlightenment writer and philosopher.
