Platforms
[edit]The station has a standard configuration with two tracks surrounded by two side platforms and the vault is elliptical. The decoration is in the style used for the most of metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault, the tunnel exits, and the corridor openings. The advertising frames are made of honey-coloured earthenware and the name of the station is also made of earthenware in the style of the original CMP. The Motte style seats are red in colour.
Other connections
[edit]The station is also served by line 318 of the RATP bus network.
