History

The station opened on 3 February 1934 with the extension from Porte de Saint-Cloud to Pont de Sèvres, which was the first extension of the métro network beyond the limits of Paris. Hence, it is one of the first three stations to provide service to the inner suburbs of Paris (along with Billancourt and Pont de Sèvres).

As part of the "Renouveau du métro" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors was renovated and modernised on 23 April 2004.[1]

In 2019, the station was used by 5,521,946 passengers, making it the 73rd busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[2]

In 2020, the station was used by 2,845,520 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 59th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[3]

In 2021, the station was used by 3,874,792 passengers, making it the 62nd busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[4]
