The station has a standard configuration with 2 tracks surrounded by 2 side platforms. The lower portion of the side walls are vertical instead of elliptical, as are the other stations constructed by the Nord-Sud company (today on lines 12 and 13). Along with Parmentier on line 3, it is one of the last stations on the network to have the station's name to be in yellow capital letters on a black enamelled nameplate. It is incorporated into the bodywork of the station.
The station is also served by lines 28, 82, 89, and 92 of the RATP bus network.
