Concorde station

Template:Infobox Paris metro

Concorde is a station of the Paris Métro. It is named after the nearby Place de la Concorde. Concorde is distinctive due to its décor; the tunnel for line 12 is decorated with tiles spelling the Déclaration des Droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen.

Ezra Pound's famous Imagist poem, In a Station of the Metro, was inspired by this station.
