History and description

The station was put into operation on April 26, 1931.

Line 10 ran from Maubert - Mutualité via Cardinal Lemoine and Jussieu to the new terminus at Gare d'Austerlitz .

The station has two side platforms on two main tracks. It has an elliptical cross-section, the ceiling and walls are tiled. There are two entrances, both of which are at the intersection of Rue Monge and Rue du Cardinal Lemoine. The east entrance is adorned by a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style .

To the south of the station, the tracks swivel to the southeast under the Rue des Boulangers. Directly under the station are two operating tracks coming from Maubert - Mutualité in the direction of Place Monge, which from January 15, 1930 as main tracks to the section Place Monge - Place d'Italie (from March 7, 1930 to Porte de Choisy) served.
