History

The station was opened under the name Commerce on 13 July 1913 as part of the original section of Line 8 between Beaugrenelle (now Charles Michels) and Opéra.

On 29 July 1937, Line 10 was extended from Duroc to La Motte-Picquet – Grenelle; the section of Line 8 between La Motte-Picquet – Grenelle and Porte d'Auteuil, including Commerce was transferred to Line 10. The same day, it was renamed Avenue Émile Zola because a new station named Commerce opened on Line 8. The station is commemorating Émile Zola, a prolific French writer of the 19th century.

In 2013, the station was used by 1,476,223 passengers, making it the 280th busiest out of 302 on the Métro network.[1]
