Location Duroc Location within Paris

Duroc (French pronunciation: [dyʁɔk]) is a station on lines 10 and 13 of the Paris Métro. It is located at the point for which the 6th, 7th and 15th arrondissements share a common border, close to the location of an old toll gate on the road to Sèvres, part of the Wall of the Ferme générale, which was built around Paris between 1784 and 1791 by the ferme générale company of tax farmers. The station is named after the nearby rue Duroc, which in turn is named after Géraud Duroc, Duke of Frioul (1772–1813), who was one of Napoleon's generals, noted for his friendship with Napoleon Bonaparte, he is sometimes referred to as ‘Napoleon's shadow’ (l'ombre de Napoléon in French).
