It is named after the nearby Place Bérault, which honours Michel Bérault (1796-1871), a former deputy mayor of Vincennes.[1] It also evokes the name of Bérault Stuart d'Aubigny, a captain of the guard at the Chateau de Vincennes c.1500.
History
editThe station opened on 24 March 1934 as part of the line's extension from Porte de Vincennes to Château de Vincennes.
As part of the "Un métro + beau" programme by the RATP, the station's corridors were renovated and modernised in 13 December 2001.[2]
During the automation of line 1, the station had undergone a series of upgrades. Its platforms were raised for the installation of platform screen doors on 28 and 29 July 2008, with the doors installed in early 2009. The line was fully automated in December 2012.[3][4]
In 2019, the station was used by 3,656,859 passengers, making it the 133rd busiest of the Métro network out of 302 stations.[5]
In 2020, the station was used by 2,112,213 passengers amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, making it the 114th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[6]
In 2021, the station was used by 2,106,827 passengers, making it the 169th busiest of the Métro network out of 304 stations.[7]
