The Pasteur station opened on 24 April 1906 with the start of the service on the line 6.
It is situated in the 15th arrondissement and is served by the metro lines 6 and 12. The station is named after Louis Pasteur (1822 - 1895), a French microbiologist and chemist. He is most known for treating milk to stop it from becoming spoilt. He also created the first vaccine for rabies.
