History
edit
The station opened on 10 December 1933 as part of the line's extension from between Richelieu–Drouot to Porte de Montreuil.
Its main entrance was originally integrated with the former Palais Avron cinema, which opened in September 1936, replacing a former cinema on the same site, the Grand Cinéma Buzenval that opened in 1913 and closed in 1931 (initially named Casino de Buzenval)[1][2]. It has been repurposed as a supermarket since 1977, currently an Auchan, along with many other local cinemas that were converted into commercial spaces during the same period.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors and platforms were renovated and modernised on 2 December 2008.[3]
In 2019, the station was used by 1,941,769 passengers, making it the 249th busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[4]
In 2020, the station was used by 1,080,500 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 234th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[5]
In 2021, the station was used by 1,448,855 passengers, making it the 239th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[6]
