Jussieu is a station of the Paris Métro in the eastern part of the Latin Quarter. "Jussieu" is the name of a family of famous botanists and historians of the natural world, several of whom have been associated with the nearby Jardin des Plantes.
The station used to be called "Jussieu-Halles-aux-vins" after the market created there by Napoleon I. This name has been shortened because, after 1957, the market was replaced by the Jussieu Campus of the University of Paris.
