The station went into operation on April 16, 1926, when the section of line 7 from Palais Royal (since 1989: Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre ) to Pont Marie was opened. Until June 3, 1930 it was the southern terminus of the line.
It has the original Parisian standard length of 75 m, which is sufficient for five-car trains. Under an elliptical , white-tiled ceiling vault, it has side platforms on two parallel tracks. The two access stairs are on the side of the road facing away from the river, west of the intersection with Rue des Nonnains d'Hyères. The western entrance has an illuminated station sign with a network map and a candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the Art Deco style with the word METRO.
