History

The station opened on 3 May 1980 upon completion of the extension of Line 13 from Porte de Clichy; it was the terminal station until 14 June 2008 when the extension to Les Courtilles opened. At that time, its name was changed from Gabriel Péri – Asnières – Gennevilliers to its present name. The station honours journalist Gabriel Péri who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies for Seine-et-Oise. He was shot by the Nazis because of his involvement in the French Resistance in World War II.
In 2013, it was used by 5,285,165 passengers, making it the 75th busiest Métro station out of 302.
