Lourmel (French pronunciation: [luʁmɛl]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the nearby rue de Lourmel, which in turn is named after General Frédéric Henri Le Normand de Lourmel (1811-1854), who was killed at the Battle of Inkerman where the Franco-British armies defeated the Russian armies under Alexander Sergeyevich Menshikov during the Crimean War.
