The name of the station and its immediate neighborhood derives from the Plaine des Sablons, as much of present-day Neuilly was known prior to its urbanization. The station signage is subtitled "Jardin d'Acclimatation," referring to the leisure park in the Bois de Boulogne 300 meters to the south. The Jardin is linked to the station area by the Boulevard des Sablons, whose name changes to Rue d’Orleans as it approaches Avenue Charles de Gaulle.
