The station was opened in 1998 when Line 14 was first opened. Its architecture is the work of a different architect than the one who designed the other stations of Line 14. In the hall where one transfers between the two transit lines, the steps of the stairs are arranged in the arc of a circle and are marked with the letters of different humanistic writings.
From the opening of Line 14 until June 25, 2007, this station functioned as the line's southern terminus. Further work extended the line to a new station to the southwest, Olympiades, which opened on June 26, 2007. It is expected that the line will eventually be extended to the station Maison Blanche and will take over the southern branch of Line 7 that terminates at Villejuif - Louis Aragon.
When the station was opened, the station Masséna of the RER C was closed and replaced by this station in order to permit the transfer between the métro and RER lines.
