### Platforms

The platforms of the two lines are of standard configuration. There are two per stopping point, they are separated by the metro tracks located in the centre.
Those of line 3 are established flush with the ground. The ceiling consists of a metal apron, the beams of which, yellow orange in colour, are supported by vertical walls. They are furnished in the Andreu-Motte style with two orange-yellow light canopies, benches, tunnels exits and walls covered with large flat white stretched sandstone tiles and yellow Motte seats. The advertisements are unframed, and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamel plates.
The platforms of line 9, established in a very slight curve, have an elliptical vault and are among the last of the network to have retained a Mouton-Duvernet style decoration, with walls fitted with flat bright orange tiles laid horizontally and aligned, as well as lighting canopies characteristic of this type of development. The tunnel exits are fitted with flat white tiles, also laid horizontally, and aligned, while the vault is painted in burgundy. The advertising frames are metallic, and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamel plates (replacing the original white embossed capital letters, typical of the Mouton style). The Motte style seats are orange in colour.
