Quirky Paris metro stations

Which Paris metro stations present quirky photo opportunities? I know that Arts et Metiers is kitted out like the inside of a submarine, and Concorde has one letter of the Declaration of Human Rights on each of its tiles.





Can anyone suggest others? Either inside on the platforms, or photogenic exteriors.





Thanks a lot

Louvre-Rivoli has lots of copies of works of art from the Louvre. Cluny la Sorbonne has mosaic copies of the signatures of many writers and artists. Don%26#39;t miss the entrance of Abbesses métro.

The entrance to the Palais Royal station, in front of the Académie Française looks like it could have been designed by Gaudi or Hundertwasser.

Bastille station (platform line 1) is directly looking over the Bastille marina and its boats !





Varenne : statue of The Thinker by Rodin





Gare de Lyon (line 14) : a tropical jungle !





Line 6 between Passy and Bir Hakeim : beautiful sight on the Seine, the Eiffel tower and Montmartre

I%26#39;ve said it before and I%26#39;ll say it again %26quot;a search is a good thing%26quot;... :))

Thank you everybody. I will be sure to suss out these stations and environs when I head to the French capital next month.
