Liège is a station of the Paris Métro and was originally called Berlin. It was renamed after the Belgian city of Liège on 1 August 1914 (two days before the beginning of World War I), along with a street it is located near. It was closed during World War II, but was reopened in 1968 with new ceramic decorations made in Welkenraedt, Belgium, which evoke the landscapes and monuments of the Province of Liège.

As the Rue d'Amsterdam is too narrow to accommodate facing platforms, the station has staggered platforms. Until recently, the station would close to the public at 8:30pm with all trains running through without stopping. After renovation work in December 2006, the station now stays open later into the evenings.
