Bastille station (Paris Métro)

During the 1960s, the platform of Line 5 was renovated in the Mouton-Duvernet style with two-toned orange-tinted ceramic tiles, a white painted vault and characteristic lighting strips.

They are the last to be equipped with landing doors, in April 2011, because of the technical difficulty presented by the pronounced curve at their western end.

The western end of the line 1 platforms have the sharpest curve used by passenger trains on the Métro, with a radius of only 40 metres (131 ft).

The ceiling of the east end, which is underground, consists of a metal deck, the silver beams are supported by vertical walls.

The decoration of these walls and tunnel exits are "cultural" evoking the French Revolution thanks to a unique ceramics created by Liliane Belembert and Odile Jacquot in May 1989.

Part of this fresco was replaced by a plastic display on automation of the line on the occasion of this operation (in the platforms towards La Défense).

Foundations of one of the counterscarp walls of the old Bastille prison, discovered during the construction of the line in 1905, are visible on the platform in the direction of Bobigny-Pablo Picasso.

These arrangements are married with the flat white ceramic tiles that cover the walls, vault and tunnel exits, making this station one of the few to have the Andreu-Motte preserved style.
