Around ten Paris metro stations saw their names change on Monday. The nicknames were given in reference to Olympic and Paralympic disciplines.

Trocadéro became "Trocanoë", swapping his oars for paddles, Alexandre Dumas became "Alexandre Dumarathon" Handisport has not been forgotten, with the Avron station transformed into “Para Aviron” and the Daumesnil station converted to “Taekwondo Mesnil”
