The station went into operation on April 21, 1908 when the first section of Line 4 from Porte de Clignancourt to Châtelet was opened.

The station has side platforms under an elliptical, tiled ceiling vault on two parallel tracks. It was originally 75 m long, in the mid-1960s it was extended to 90 m. To the southwest of the station, a switch leads from the main track leading to the south to a side siding.
The only entrance was designed in Art Nouveau style by Hector Guimard .

Until 1928, 5-car trains consisting of initially three twin-engine and later two four-engine railcars and sidecars ran on Line 4 . They were replaced by Sprague-Thomson trains , which were successively replaced by rubber-tired 6-car trains of the MP 59 series in 1966/67 . The MP 89 CC series is currently in use on Line 4 .
