The station opened on 5 May 1931 with the extension of the line from Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Charenton.

The royal wallpaper factory, the Folie Titon, run by Jean-Baptiste Réveillon, was located here until its demolition in 1880.

The Reveillon riot occurred at the Folie Titon on 28 April 1789, which was a harbinger of the French Revolution.

As part of the RATP's Renouveau du métro revival programme, the station's corridors and platform lighting were renovated by 15 July 2008.

The lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the Renouveau du Métro of the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the right walls, the vault and the tunnel exits.
