History and Environment
The stations of Line 7 and Line 10 were opened on 26 April 1931.
"Jussieu" is the name of a family of famous botanists and historians of the natural world, several of whom have been associated with the nearby Jardin des Plantes.
The station used to be called "Jussieu-Halles-aux-vins" after the market created there by Napoleon I. This name has been shortened because, after 1957, the market was replaced by the Jussieu Campus of the University of Paris.
