[FR] En 2004, elle était la neuvième station la plus fréquentée du réseau, avec 13,04 millions d'entrants directs.
La station de la ligne 5 possède, sur le quai direction Bobigny, des fondations d'un des murs de contrescarpe de l'ancienne prison de la Bastille, découverts lors de la construction de la ligne en 1905. Des lignes jaunes tracées au sol marquent les contours de l'édifice. La station expose également diverses vues de l'ancienne forteresse.
[EN] It is located near the former location of the Bastille and remains of the Bastille can be seen on line 5. The platforms for line 1 are situated below road level but above the Basin of the Arsenal and Canal Saint Martin in a short-open air segment. The western end of the line 1 platforms have the sharpest curve used by passenger trains on the Métro, with a radius of only 40 metres. The line 1 platforms, at 123 metres long, are significantly longer than the average Métro platform length.
The line 1 station opened as part of the first stage of the line between Porte de Vincennes and Porte Maillot on 19 July 1900. The line 5 platforms were opened on 17 December 1906 when the line was extended from Gare de Lyon to Lancry (now known as Jacques Bonsergent). The line 8 platforms were opened on 5 May 1931 when the line was extended from Richelieu - Drouot to Porte de Charenton. The platforms on line 1 were decorated in 1989 to celebrate the bicentenary of the French Revolution.
