The station opened on 5 November 1910 as part of the original section of the Nord-Sud Company's line A between Porte de Versailles and Notre-Dame-de-Lorette.

Most reopened after the war, although some of them, including Rennes, remained closed due to their light traffic, hence, becoming a ghost station.

On 20 May 1968, after 29 years of closure, the station was finally reopened, albeit with limited operating hours as a cost saving measure.

[2] This arrangement lasted until 7 September 2004, when it was adjusted to the standard operating hours of most other stations at the local residents' request.

The lower portion of the side walls are vertical instead of elliptical, as were the other stations constructed by the Nord-Sud company (today on lines 12 and 13).
