The station is one of a small number of elevated Paris Métro stations. The tracks emerge from underground nearby to the southeast after Pasteur station at the Rue de Vaugirard, remaining elevated through four more stations on the Rive Gauche, crossing the Seine on the Pont de Bir-Hakeim, then descending underground west of the Seine at Passy station. Visitors have excellent views of several notable landmarks from the latter bridge.
