Unlike most Paris Métro lines, Line 11 was not included in the original late 19th century scheme. Designed to replace the former Belleville funicular tramway, it was opened in 1935 and intended to create a more effective transportation system which could handle the increasing traffic on the route, as well as to extend it to the center of Paris.

An extension from Mairie des Lilas to Rosny-Bois-Perrier station is currently being built; featuring 6 stations, it will be opened in 2024. The rolling stock of the line is also being replaced with new MP 14 trains.
