== Platforms
=Porte de Bagnolet is a standard configuration station. It has two 105-meter-long platforms separated by the metro tracks and the vault is elliptical. However, due to the difficult nature of the subsoil, composed of an anarchic mixture of gypsum, sand and clay, it is placed on eighty piles of one meter in diameter, anchored in limestone at a depth of twenty-seven meters. The decoration, typical of the 1970s, is like the Mouton-Duvernet style with walls covered with bevelled beige tiles placed vertically and aligned, a white painted vault as well as two hanging lighting strips. The metallic advertising frames are grey and protruding, and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamelled plates. The Motte style seats are red.
