Boulogne–Jean Jaurès (French: [bulɔɲ ʒɑ̃ ʒɔʁɛs]) is a station on Line 10 of the Paris Métro in the 16th arrondissement. It lies under the Boulevard Jean Jaurès in the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt, which was named after Jean Jaurès (1859–1914), a French Socialist leader, who was assassinated at the beginning of World War I. He is also honoured at Jaurès, on lines 2, 5, and 7. East of this station, the line splits into separate eastbound and westbound sections until Javel–André Citroën.
