Underground showcase for a quarter of Paris dedicated to publishing, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés station exposes itself like an open book. Thirty projections on white walls, extracted from the “first pages” of novels. Along the platforms, glass showcases offer voyageurs a hundred or so open books and their covers. Light, flooded with literary imagery, the station proposes a homage to the written word. An invitation to the traveller… to discover an imaginary world.
