On 2 September 1939, the station was closed as part of the government's plan that reduced service on the métro network as a cost-saving measure in light of the onset of World War II, with all but 85 stations closed. Most reopened after the war, although it remained closed due to its light traffic which made it unprofitable to operate, hence, becoming a ghost station. In the early 1960s, more than twenty years later, it was still found on the official maps of the network by the Cluny–La Sorbonne in 1988.
A siding and a track connection between lines 8 and Boulogne ) exists south of the station.
The station originally had two accesses, on both sides of Place Joffre. The access on the Champ de Mars side still exists whereas the one on the École militaire side has been converted into a ventilation shaft to lower the temperature in the tunnels below.[3] Today, a station of Bir-Hakeim .
