Filles du Calvaire (French pronunciation: ​[fij dy kalvɛːʁ]) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro, named after the Boulevard des Filles du Calvaire. The station opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of the line from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Charenton. The boulevard was named after the Calvairiennes or Filles du Calvaire (Daughters of Calvary) who were an order of reformed Benedictine sisters. Antoinette d’Orléans and Père Joseph founded the order in Poitiers, in 1617. The convent was later moved to Paris and was closed in the French Revolution.

It was founded in 1770 by Comte d'Artois who later was crowned Charles X. It was then closed down and not reopened until 1851. At that time it became a café-concert called the Folies-Mayer, on the site of a former jeu de paume (tennis court). It was converted into the Folies-Concertantes in 1853, and reopened as the Folies-Nouvelles on 21 October 1854.Under the direction of the operetta composer Hervé from 1854 to 1856, it became a theatre for one-act spectacles-concerts with premieres of Hervé's La Perle de l'Alsace (1854), Un Compositeur toqué (1854), La Fine fleur de l'Andalousie (1854), Agamemnon, ou Le Chameau à deux bosses (1856), and Vadé au cabaret (1856). Several of Auguste Pilati's works received their first performance at the Théâtre des Folies-Nouvelles, including Jean le Sot (1856), Une Devinette (1856), Trois Dragons (1857), L'Ile de Calypso (1857), Peau d'âne (1858), Ignace le retors (1858) One of Jacques Offenbach's first works, the anthropophagie musicale Oyayaye, ou La Reine des îles was also performed there (1855), and two opérettes, Delibes's Deux sous de charbon (1856), and Lecocq's Huis-Clos (1859).
