Location within Paris

It is named after the Porte de Vanves, a gate in the 19th century Thiers wall of Paris. Contrary to what its name suggests, it gave access to the commune of Malakoff – the commune of Vanves is instead accessible by Porte Brancion located 250 metres west.

History

The station opened on 21 January 1937 as part of the initial section of the old line 14 between Porte de Vanves and Bienvenüe (today known as Montparnasse–Bienvenue). It served as its southern terminus until 9 November 1976 when it was extended to Châtillon–Montrouge. The old line 14 was incorporated into line 13 on the same day following the latter's extension in successive phases from Saint-Lazare.

In 2019, the station was used by 4,660,158 passengers, making it the 92nd busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[1]

In 2020, the station was used by 2,460,078 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 87th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[2]

In 2021, the station was used by 3,395,358 passengers, making it the 87th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[3]
