The trains in the direction of Bobigny - Pablo Picasso stop at the side platform, those in the opposite direction on the northern track of the central platform. Its southern track is reserved for traffic from and to the adjoining double-track parking facility to the east.
Two exits lead from both ends of the station to the median of Avenue Jean Jaurès. They are marked by candelabra designed by Adolphe Dervaux in the style of Art Deco . In addition, a lift was installed at the confluence with the Sente des Dorées.
