General François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers (1769–1796) fought the Revolt in the Vendée during the French Revolution.

As part of the RATP's Metro Renewal programme, the station's corridors were opened, after renovation, on 15 March 2002.

These fittings are combined with the bevelled white ceramic tiles that cover the walls, the vault, and a corridor threshold on the platform towards Pont de Sèvres.

The station is distinguished, however, by the lower part of its walls, which is vertical and not elliptical, its immediate proximity to the river Seine requiring a reinforced construction resulting in a special profile.

This connection is shown on the RATP map of metro line 9, with a walking symbol.
