The Pyramides metro station is located halfway between the Palais Garnier and the Comédie-Française theatre.

The station was opened on 1 July 1916 during the extension of line 7 from Opéra to Palais-Royal.

Due to the shortage of earthenware linked to the First World War, the station was temporarily equipped with a simple masonry coating.

The vault is equipped with a work by the French artist Jacques Tissinier created at the same time as the station: Tissignalisation no.

Each disc measures 16 cm in diameter and represents a stylized papyrus sheet coloured in red, white, blue and orange.
