Today it is served by the metro lines 6 and 9.
The station entrance is surrounded by a strong, solid stone balustrade.
An escalator leads to the surface, as well as stairs.
At the back of the entrance is one of the rare Val d'Osne lampposts. It is green with a white globe shaped light, topped with a crown.
The walls in the corridor are tiled with white tiles with a raised centre. The top border row is dark green with 3D flower-shaped patterns. The wall above is painted.
The escalator leads from one level of the corridor to the next. It is signposted direction Eiffel Tower.
The top and bottom stairs are marked in white to highlight them.

Platform Line 9
Line 9 started operation on 8 November 1922. This station opened as the terminal of the first section between Trocadéro and Excelmans.
The platform has been designed by Andreu-Motte. The overhead lights are in green metal boxes running along the edge of the platform.

In 2024, the display board has been given a new look. It looks more stylish and no longer shows the names of the operating companies. The figures are solid and easy to read.
It is tradition for the RATP to take part in in the tradition of April Fools jokes.
In 2024 it renamed a number of stations to celebrate the olympic and para-olympic games which take place later that year, as well as to highlight the week of olympic and para-olympic games (2 - 6 April 2024).
For a day, the platform of line 9 was renamed to Trocanoë.
