The Line 13 platforms were opened on 20 December 1923 as part of the original section of Line 10 between Invalides and Croix-Rouge (a station east of Sèvres – Babylone, which was closed during World War II).

The Palais Bourbon, seat of the National Assembly (the lower house of the French Parliament), is nearby, also served by Assemblée Nationale on Line 12.

The station has a single access to the eastern part of the Esplanade des Invalides near the intersection of Rue de Constantine and Rue de l'Université.

It was originally a terminus but was extended to Gare d'Orsay & the line converted to RER C in 1979.
