Paris 2024 - Metro Signs Get Pink Makeover

Metro lines that will serve Olympic and Paralympic venues have started erecting distinctive pink signage to help visitors find their destination. Contrasting with RATP’s usual green, the signs include pictograms representing the site hosting the event and its name. The signs will line the route from the platforms to the station exits and have been translated into English and Spanish. All the Olympic stations in the Paris region are equipped with some 3,500 signs. Installation costs € 10 million, two-thirds of which will be financed by Ile-de-France Mobilites (IDFM).
