The **Charonne quarter** is an area of the [20th arrondissement](/source/20th_arrondissement) of [Paris](/source/Paris) named after a former municipality in the area, which was merged into the city of Paris in 1860 by [Napoleon III](/source/Napoleon_III) and split between Charonne quarter (south part), the Père-Lachaise quarter and Saint-Fargeau quarter (north part). The historic centre of Charonne is located around the junction of Rue de Bagnolet and Rue Saint-Blaise, in the vicinity of the parish church of [Saint-Germain-de-Charonne](/source/Saint-Germain_de_Charonne,_Paris) (which is on the Père-Lachaise quarter).

The metro station called [Charonne](/source/Charonne_(Paris_Metro)), notable for the [demonstration of 8 February 1962](/source/Paris_Massacre_of_1961#8_February_1962_Charonne_massacre), is named after a street in the [11th arrondissement](/source/11th_arrondissement_of_Paris) – Rue de Charonne, in the Bastille neighbourhood – and is not actually located in the district of Charonne, which covers the southern half of the [20th arrondissement](/source/20th_arrondissement).
