The station lies under the Rond-Point Rhin et Danube, near the Pont de Saint-Cloud bridge over the Seine, in the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt.

Passenger services

Access

The station has four accesses divided into six metro entrances:

• access 1 - Route de la Reine, consisting of a fixed staircase decorated with a mast with a yellow "M" inscribed in a circle, leading to the odd sidewalk of this road, at the corner with Avenue André-Morizet;
• access 2 - Avenue Jean-Baptiste-Clément, also consisting of a fixed staircase, located at the end of this avenue to the right of No. 1 of the Rhine and Danube roundabout;
• access 3 - Rue du Port - Musée Albert-Kahn, consisting of two fixed stairs established back-to-back on the even sidewalk of Avenue du Maréchal-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny, one with a yellow "M" mast facing no. 6, the other located to the right of no. 2;
• access 4 - Avenue du Maréchal-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny, consisting of two exits also arranged back-to-back on the odd sidewalk of the avenue, one consisting of a fixed staircase equipped with a yellow "M" totem pole facing no. 7, the other leading to the right of no. 21 of the Rhin-et-Danube roundabout; A rare case in the Paris metro, this last exit consists of a gently sloping ramp instead of a staircase as is customary on the network, a feature that is also found at Fort d'Aubervilliers station on line 7.

In the ticket area is a ceramic fresco, geographically depicting the period of reconquest during the Second World War from 1943 to 1945.

Platforms

Boulogne–Pont de Saint-Cloud is a station with a particular configuration. It has a central platform framed by the two tracks of the metro. Its shape and decoration are typical of the 1980s. The vertical walls are painted in a colour gradient ranging from off-white on the east side, through orange to burgundy on the west side, and support a horizontal ceiling painted white. The advertising frames are metallic, and the name of the station is inscribed in Parisine font on enamelled plates. The Motte style seats are orange on circular benches treated in flat white tiles, which are surmounted by orange poles each comprising three globes for lighting and are of the same model as those illuminating the platforms of the Bobigny - Pablo Picasso station on line 5 as well as those of the Le Kremlin-Bicêtre stations, Villejuif - Paul Vaillant-Couturier and Villejuif - Louis Aragon on line 7.

The station is devoid of a rear station due to the lack of space due to its proximity to the Seine, so the manoeuvres are executed in front of the station. The trains are thus received alternately on the two tracks and leave directly by turning back. For the same reason, the station has no train garage.

Other connections

The station is connected remotely with the Île-de-France tramway Line 2 at the Gare du Pont de Saint-Cloud, located on the other side of the Pont de Saint-Cloud bridge.

In addition, it is served by lines 52, 72, 126, 160, 175, 260 and 467 of the RATP Bus Network, by line 460 of the Réseau de bus du Grand Versailles bus network and by line 17 of the Hourtoule transport company.
