MADELEINE

The art of the French capital also trickles down to its metro stations, with a host of aesthetic details that brighten up the waiting time of passengers. Such is the case of Madeleine, with its exclusive Parisine typeface that highlights the station name in white letters on a bluish metallic panel, its long rows of seats covered with Motte-style tiles or the replica of a Brancusi sculpture at one of the entrances. Pure underground splendour without having to set foot in a museum. Wonderful, isn’t it?
