History

The station opened on 25 January 1998, in time for the 1998 World Cup, replacing a 1913 station known as La Plaine-Voyaguers. The station is the work of the architect Jean-Marie Duthilleul. The structure of the station is suspended with cables. The architectural style of the station echoes that of the namesake Stade de France stadium.
