It is named after the Avenue de Villiers, which once led to the 18th century village of Villiers-la-Garenne, now part of Levallois-Perret.

[1] Since the 1950s and until 2008, the pillar of the two stopping areas were covered with metallic body with blue horizontal uprights and illuminated golden advertising frames.

As part of the RATP's Metro Renewal program, the station's corridors were renovated on 27 May 2005, then its platforms in 2009, leading to the removal of their bodywork.

The decoration is of the style used for most metro stations in both cases: the lighting strips are white and rounded in the Gaudin style for the metro revival in the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, tunnel exits, vault and openings in the corridors.

The advertising frames are in white ceramic and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enameled plates.
