Oriented approximately along an east–west axis, it is located between the Place de Clichy and Pigalle metro stations.

From the 1950s until 2010, the walls were covered with a metallic bodywork with blue horizontal pillars and illuminated golden advertising frames.

Its removal was part of the RATP's Renouveau du métro renovation program, and was completed with 'shell' white seats characteristic of the Motte style.

Consisting of a fixed staircase, it is adorned with a Guimard entrance, whose remaining elements are subject to a registration as historic monuments by a decree of 29 May 1978.

The advertising frames are in white ceramic and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamelled plates.
