context_page_description: Hoche is a station of the Paris Métro, serving Line 5.
context_section_description: The station was opened on 12 October 1942 during the extension of the line to the Eglise de Pantin station. It is located under Avenue Jean-Lolive at the intersection with Rue Hoche to which it owes its name. It pays homage to General Lazare Hoche (1768-1797) who, at the age of 25, commanded the Army of the Moselle with which he drove the Austrians back to Wœrth, cleared Landau and Alsace. The platform in the direction of Bobigny presents in a display case, a bust of Lazare Hoche and images evoking the life of this General of the Revolution.
  In 2018 it saw 5,185,130 travelers, which placed it at the 87th position of metro stations for attendance.
  For more than ten years until 2018, the name of the station on the walls of the platforms were written in Parisine font on thin plates covering the original names in faience. They were re-continued, a feature that the station shares with Filles du Calvaire on Line 8 and Porte des Lilas on Line 11.
