[FR] Ouverte aux voyageurs en 1902, cette station de métro doit son nom au sculpteur Jean-Baptiste Pigalle (1714 - 1785) qui vécut dans la rue qui porte maintenant son nom et où se situe la station de métro. L'entrée à la station a été dessinée en 1900 par Hector Guimard. Les éléments subsistants ont été inscrits Monument historique par l'arrêté du 29 mai 1978.

[EN] The station was opened on 21 October 1902 as part of the extension of line 2 from Étoile to Anvers. The line 12 platforms were opened on 8 April 1911 with the extension of the Nord-Sud Company's line C from Notre-Dame-de-Lorette.
