The station opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of the line from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Charenton. The boulevard was named after the Calvairiennes or Filles du Calvaire (Daughters of Calvary) who were an order of reformed Benedictine sisters. Antoinette d’Orléans and Père Joseph founded the order in Poitiers, in 1617. The convent was later moved to Paris and was closed in the French Revolution.

gollark: This is just entirely stuff on the "Lense–Thirring effect"? What does that have to do with anything?
gollark: You're not explaining what those "electric universe" claims actually are and how the missions support it.
gollark: Well, actually, I guess your "shows gravity is related to magnetism" thing *is* specific and not supported by that.
gollark: You can't exactly be *wrong*, since you aren't making any specific claims.
gollark: It contains the word "gravitomagnetic". However, based on my advanced Wikipedia-looking-at abilities, I can see that that does not actually mean what you think it means.
