History

The station opened on 27 May 1923 with the extension of line 9 from Trocadéro to Saint-Augustin. The line 13 platforms opened on 27 June 1973 with the extension of the line from Saint-Lazare. It was the southern terminus of line 13 until its extension to Champs-Élysées – Clemenceau on 18 February 1975. The station is named after the street ''Rue de Miromesnil'', which is named after Armand Thomas Hue de Miromesnil (1723–1796), who was Keeper of the Seals, deputy to the ''Chancellor of France'' (Minister of Justice) from 1774 to 1787. He abolished the use of torture during the interrogation of the accused. On April 27, 1973, the line 13 station was opened in turn following its extension from Saint-Lazare, which was the first of the three phases of the extension of the former line B of the Nord-Sud Company underground electric railway (known as North-South), in a southerly direction. Miromesnil was its southern terminus until 18 February 18, 1975, when it was extended by a station at Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau before being merged the following year with the old line 14 of the ''

On line 13, the station has vertical upright walls and a horizontal ceiling. On line 9, the station has an ovoid-shaped vault, except at its western end where the walls are vertical and the ceiling is horizontal supported by pillars.
