Cluny–La Sorbonne station

Cluny–La Sorbonne (French pronunciation: [klyni la sɔʁbɔn]) is a station on Line 10 of the Paris Métro.

[citation needed] The station has three entrances, each consisting of a fixed staircase with a Dervaux-type balustrade: In the corridor connecting with the RER, there are two monumental ceramic mosaics, created by the French painter Claude Maréchal between 1985 and 1988 following a competition organized by the RATP.

It has two platforms separated by three tracks under an elliptical vault, a unique layout that cannot be found anywhere else on the network.

The vault of the station is painted white and decorated with mosaics entitled Les Oiseaux (The Birds) by the French painter Jean René Bazaine, accompanied by the signatures, also in mosaic, of famous students of the Sorbonne, among them renowned writers such as Jean Racine, Molière, Jules Michelet, Victor Hugo, and Arthur Rimbaud.

The white ceramic tiles are flat, laid horizontally and aligned with the tunnel exits and walls, the latter being vertical on their lower part and devoid of advertisements.

However, this indirect interconnection is not indicated by the RATP given the presence of a more direct connection with line 4 at the neighbouring Odéon station.
