Jourdain ([ʒuʁdɛ̃]) is a station on line 11 of the Paris Métro in the 19th and 20th arrondissements.

The station opened as part of the original section of the line from Châtelet to Porte des Lilas on 28 April 1935. It is named after the Rue de Jourdain (French: Jordan Street), referring to a nearby church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, who baptised Christ in the Jordan.

gollark: I mean, outside-view-ishly, life on Earth has existed for several billion years, so the probability (without knowing anything else) of it randomly stopping over the course of some arbitrary thousand or so is... not high.

gollark: > There's nothing that says that life on earth will go on forever. That the environment will not self destruct via CO2 and warming, or any other method.???

gollark: It's ethical™ because journals don't pay the scientists for them anyway.

gollark: You can always just pirate scientific papers!

gollark: Actually, no, it was cold LAST week but is warmer THIS week, thus CLIMATE CHANGE UNDEBUNKED.
