Falguière is an underground station on the metro line 12.

It opened 5 November 1910 and is situated in the 15th arrondissement.

The station is named after Alexandre Falguière (1831 - 1890), a French sculptor and painter.

 

The balustrade is made up of several panels of wrought iron shaped into different swirls painted green.

The long Metropolitain sign hangs from two curled staffs attached to the balustrade. The white writing is in uppercase on a red background.

Underneath it is the station sign with the station name and the number of the metro. Facing the entrance is an advertising board. On the other side is a metro plan of Paris.

The walls are tiled in light brown. Some light blue and dark brown flowers have been stencilled close to ground level.

Five round lights have been fixed in green holders at the far of the entrance at ground level, making them look a bit like acorns from the top.

 

 

 

The small pillars are tiled in small beige-brown tiles and topped with a square low pyramid.

On each side of the pillar is a 3D flower with 7 petals and large leaves.
