What will be the configuration of the Observatory underground station?

The Observatory station, located at a depth of 19 metres, will be configured like a metro station and will be organised on three levels: the forecourt, the mezzanine and the platforms.

The Observatory forecourt
The entrance to the resort will be set up on the forecourt of the Observatory, along the RN7 in Juvisy-sur-Orge. Access to the lower levels will be provided by escalators, fixed staircases and an elevator to ensure accessibility for all passengers. The forecourt will undergo a complete redevelopment including the creation of green spaces, the planting of trees and the installation of bicycle parking.

The mezzanine
Located between the forecourt and the platforms, the mezzanine will allow you to cross the tramway platform and access the two platforms. It will be equipped with ticketing terminals as well as passenger information screens. Access to the platforms will be possible via two fixed staircases and two elevators.

The quays
On the last level of the station, the layout of the platforms will be based on the principles of surface stations and will be equipped with similar equipment, such as waiting benches and passenger information screens.

In addition, the station will be equipped with all the safety features specific to underground stations. It will be closed to the public outside of operating hours (00:30 to 05:00) and will be subject to continuous video surveillance. Access to the tramway will also be secured to prevent any malicious or accidental intrusion of motor vehicles.
