History

The station was constructed beginning in 1848 and ultimately opened on 30 July 1849, along with the Saumur-Angers section of the Tours-Saint-Nazaire railway. In 1851 the line was completed from Angers westward to Nantes. The station gradually expanded as traffic grew in the latter half of the 19th century.

The station building was largely destroyed by bombing raids during the Second World War. A new one was opened in 1956, and ultimately renovated in 2001.
