The station opened on 1 March 1909 with the opening of the original section of line 6 from Place d'Italie to Nation (although part of line 5—some dating back to 2 October 1900—was incorporated into line 6 on 12 October 1942). It is named after the Rue Nationale, which commemorates the National Guard. This was a middle-class militia created on 13 July 1789 for the maintenance of law and order in Paris. Next day, it took part in the storming of the Bastille.

gollark: At best, as Wojbie said, you can make it annoying for people, but then one person will do it and share how.
gollark: You just *cannot* give people access to a thing in one way and expect them to not be able to access it in some other way. Basically every DRM scheme - which this really sounds like - has *failed, inevitably*.
gollark: As Grim Reaper said: if there is *any* important data there or something, *people will get it out* eventually.
gollark: Also, some platforms might not like bytecode.
