Philippe Auguste station

Philippe Auguste (French pronunciation: [filip oɡyst]) is a station on Line 2 of the Paris Métro, on the border of the 11th and 20th arrondissements.

The station was opened on 31 January 1903 as part of the extension of line 2 (known at the time as "2 Nord") from Anvers to Bagnolet (now called Alexandre Dumas).

[1][2] As part of the RATP Metro Renewal program, the station corridors and platform lighting were renovated on 27 June 2003.

The decoration is in the style used for most metro stations, the lighting canopies are white and rounded in the Gaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls and tunnel exits.

The famous Père Lachaise Cemetery is nearby as is the Square de la Roquette.
