Situated on the Rue du 4 Septembre, the station commemorates the date of 4 September 1870, when Léon Gambetta proclaimed the beginning of the French Third Republic from the palace of the Tuileries, after the capture of French emperor Napoleon III by German armies during the Franco-Prussian War.

[1]: 179 Like a third of the stations in the network between 1974 and 1984, the platforms were modernized in the Andreu-Motte style, green in colour with flat white tiles in this case.

Made up of a fixed staircase, it is adorned with a Guimard iron edicule, which is the subject of a decree as a historic monument on 29 May 1978.

The decoration is in the Andreu-Motte style with two bright green light canopies, benches covered with flat green tiling and white Motte seats, which thus break the colorimetric uniformity of the decorative style.

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