Platforms
The station has a standard configuration with two tracks surrounded by two side platforms. The vault is elliptical. The decoration is of the style used for the majority of metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the Renouveau du Métro des Années 2000, and the beveled white ceramic tiles cover the straight walls, the vault, the tunnel exits and the outlets of the corridors. The advertising frames are made of honey-colored earthenware and the name of the station is also made of earthenware in the style of the original CMP . The seats are Motte style and orange in color. This decoration is completely identical to that of the neighboring station, Porte Dorée.
