Structure of the station. It is not established as an underground viaduct, as the model might suggest
The station opened on 18 January 1911 as part of a branch of line 7 from Louis Blanc to Pré-Saint-Gervais, 18 days after the commissioning of the first section of line 7 between Opéra and Porte de la Villette due to difficulties during its construction.
As the station is constructed in unstable terrain, located in a former mine where gypsum was extracted for export to the United States, the station box was strengthened by having separate vaults for each track, with a single shared island platform. The station box is perched more than 30 m above solid ground, with its 220 supporting columns, each 2.5 m in diameter, have a cumulative height of 5,500 m.[1] These foundations were necessary due to the inconsistency of the ground which consisted of the former mines that had been backfilled.[2] On 3 December 1967 this branch was separated from line 7, becoming line 7bis.
Initially during the planning phase, it was envisioned that it will serve as the terminus, but was then moved to Place des Fêtes before finally deciding to create a one-way loop between these two stations with Pré-Saint-Gervais acting as the branch's commercial terminus.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station was renovated and modernised on 18 December 2007.[3]
In 2019, the station was used by 547,896 passengers, making it the 297th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[4]
In 2020, the station was used by 266,623 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 297th busiest of the Métro network out of 305 stations.[5]
