The situation is comparable to Porte Molitor station that as no access, being originally intended for Parc des Princes.

The station opened on 19 September 1970 as part of the extension of the line from Charenton–Écoles, serving as its eastern terminus until it was further extended to Maisons-Alfort–Les Juilliottes on 27 April 1972.

The advertising frames, slightly recessed in the walls, are metal and the name of the station is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plaques.

The station shares this decorative style only with the two framing stopping points, École Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort and Maisons-Alfort-Les Juiliottes.

However, ochre-coloured tiles also exist in the access corridors to the platform of the Créteil-Université station on the same line, except that they only have the lightest shade.
