The station opened on 5 November 1910.

It is situated at the border of the 6th and 7th arrondissements, taking its name from the streets above.

It is served by the metro lines 10 and 12.

 

The station has several entrances. The main entrance splits into three: in the centre is the exit by escalator, the entrances to the left and right have stairs. Above them is a row of five round lights in green fixings at ground level.

The walls outside are tiled in light green, light blue and brownish tiles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The station entrance is marked by a green lamppost.

It is in the Dervaux style.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This entrance is more modern.

 

 

It is surrounded by a green fence with bars of different lengths. The station sign is square with the name of the station, the metro lines and some advertising in a lit box.

At ground level are four round white lights in green fixing.

 

The wall is tiled in white ceramic tiles and topped with a row of green border tiles with a wave pattern. Handrails have been attached to the walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Access to the platfroms is through a turnstyle and a metal lever barrier which has to be pushed aside.

The walls of the platform are tiled white with some green tiles looking like waves. The station of the line 10 was due to be called Babylone. As a result of the merger with the line 12, the signs on this platform have the word Sèvres in smaller letters and Babylone in large.

The display shows some exhibits about biodiversity.

It is tradition for the RATP to take part in in the tradition of April Fools jokes.

In 2024 it renamed a number of stations to celebrate the olympic and para-olympic games which take place later that year, as well as to highlight the week of olympic and para-olympic games (2 - 6 April 2024).

For a day, the platform of line 12 was renamed to Sevres Badminton.
