Michel Bizot (French pronunciation: [miʃɛl bizo]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the 12th arrondissement. It is named after the nearby avenue du Général-Michel-Bizot, which is in turn named after the French military engineer General Michel Brice Bizot [fr] (1795–1855), fatally shot at the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.
