TheCharonne quarter is an area of the20th arrondissement ofParis named after a former municipality in the area, which was merged into the city of Paris in 1860 byNapoleon III and split between Charonne quarter (south part), the Père-Lachaise quarter and Saint-Fargeau quarter (north part). The historic centre of Charonne is located around the junction of Rue de Bagnolet and Rue Saint-Blaise, in the vicinity of the parish church ofSaint-Germain-de-Charonne (which is on the Père-Lachaise quarter).
The metro station calledCharonne, notable for thedemonstration of 8 February 1962, is named after a street in the11th arrondissement – Rue de Charonne, in the Bastille neighbourhood – and is not actually located in the district of Charonne, which covers the southern half of the20th arrondissement.
