Ségur () is a station on Line 10 of the Paris Métro. It is located on the border of the 7th arrondissement and 15th arrondissement. It is named after avenue de Ségur located 100 m northeast of the station. It was in turn named after Marquis Philippe Henri de Ségur, a Marshall of France and Secretary of State for War from 1780 to 1787. The name Ségur is better known by the novels of his granddaughter by marriage, the Countess of Ségur (1799-1874), best known for her novel, Les Malheurs de Sophie.
History The station opened on 29 September 1937 when line 10 was extended from Duroc to La Motte-Picquet (now known as La Motte-Picquet–Grenelle), two months after the opening of the section between La Motte-Picquet and Duroc and trains skipped the station. The nameplates on the platforms are subtitiled UNESCO, due to the location of the station near its headquarters. It, however, does not appear on maps published by the RATP.
As part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP, the station's platforms and lights were renovated and modernised on 4 January 2006.
