Danube (French pronunciation: [danyb]) is a station of the Paris Métro serving Line 7bis (westbound only). It is named after Place de Danube, which was renamed Place Rhin-et-Danube in 1951 to commemorate the 1st French Army which had during the Italian campaign between 1943 and 1945 distinguished itself during the landing of Provence, then fought on the Rhine and Danube rivers in World War II.

👉 Danube station (Paris Métro) in the context of Paris Métro Line 7
Paris Métro Line 7 is one of sixteen currently open lines of the Paris Métro system, which links La Courneuve–8 mai 1945 in Seine-Saint-Denis northeast of Paris, with Mairie d'Ivry southeast and Villejuif–Louis Aragon in the south, while passing through important parts of central Paris on a northeast to diagonal to south route.
Line 7 began operating in 1910 and, along with Line 13, is one of the only two Métro lines currently into branched operation. Line 3 also was meant to branch at Gambetta, but this was cancelled in favor of a branch becoming line 3bis. Line 7 did originally split north, at Louis Blanc, but a notable difference in usage between the two branches (due to Porte de la Vilette being a large bus hub serving the neighbouring Seine-Saint-Denis department) had the branch heading to Place du Danube separated in 1967 to become Line 7bis. In 1982, a new branch was added in the southeast of Maison Blanche and heading towards Villejuif. Line 7 has only steel rails.
