Rue de la Pompe is a station of the Paris Métro, named after the Rue de la Pompe. This Passy street is mentioned in the archives of 1730 as a way of skirting the walls of the "Château de la Muette". It led to one of the gates in the wall surrounding the Bois de Boulogne. It was called the old path, but was transformed at the end of the 18th century into a street and was named after the pump (French: pompe) that supplied water to the Château de la Muette.

It is the métro station at which, every "Jansonien" go out to go to school.
