History

The station was initially given the provisional name of Liberté.[2] It was then renamed Serge Gainsbourg, after the eponymous French artist who had composed the song Le Poinçonneur des Lilas (The ticket-puncher of Lilas) in 1958.[3][4] On 16 July 2021, the tunnel boring machine, Sofia, arrived at the station after more than 15 months of digging since January 2020, marking the end of excavation works for the extension of line 11. The construction of the main entrance will be completed by the end of January 2022 while the other entrance will be completed by July 2022. Track laying will also begin in February 2022.[5]
