The disastrous Paris Métro train fire occurred on the evening of 10 August 1903, on what was then Line 2 Nord of the system and is now Paris Métro Line 2. There were 84 deaths, most at Couronnes station, so it is also known as the Couronnes Disaster.

Paris Métro Line 2 is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro. Situated almost entirely above the former customs barrier around the capital, it runs in a semicircle in the north of Paris.
