History

The station was opened on 9 January 1910 as part of the connecting section of Line 4 under the Seine between Châtelet and Raspail. The Line 10 platforms opened on 14 February 1926 as part of the line's extension from Mabillon. It was the eastern terminus of the line until its extension to Place d'Italie (now on Line 7) on 15 February 1930. Named after the nearby Odéon theatre, the station is located under the Carrefour de l'Odéon, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.

The Luxembourg Palace is nearby, also served by the Gare du Luxembourg on RER B.
