History

edit

The station was opened on 21 April 1908 as part of the first section of the line from Châtelet to Porte de Clignancourt. It takes its name from Rue Étienne-Marcel, which is named for Étienne Marcel, a 14th-century revolutionary and provost of the merchants under John II.

Nearby are the Saint-Eustache church and the Louvre Post Office, which is the only post office in France open nearly 24 hours a day (except between 6:20 and 7:20 a.m.).

In 2019, 2,676,549 riders entered this station, which places it in 195th position for metro stations out of 302.[1]
