. From the 1960s until the end of the 20th century, the station walls were clad in metal sheets with green horizontal posts and illuminated gold advertising frames, and the metal beams supporting the station ceiling were painted green, and the station was fitted with white ''Motte'' style seats. In 2000, to celebrate the métro's centenary, the station was redecorated with wooden benches and wall covered with photo panels showing major events from 11 decades of history. In May 2023, new wall decoration was installed, showing drawings of trees, leaves and flowers, produced by artist Cyprien Chabert, and the platform signs showing the station name were updated with a green background color (instead of the usual blue). As part of the automation of line 1, the station platforms were upgraded on the weekend of 18 and 19 October 2008, then fitted with platform screen doors in November 2010. In 2019, 2,614,837 travelers entered this station which placed it in 199th position among metro stations for its usage.

Station layout


Platforms

Tuileries is a standard configuration station. It has two platforms separated by the metro tracks. The ceiling consists of a metal deck, the beams of which, silver in color, are supported by vertical walls. Since the introduction of the six-car train line in the 1960s, a 15-meter-long crypt, the ceiling of which rests on closely spaced pillars, extends the platform to its western end. The decoration of the platforms, created for the centenary of the Metro and line 1, is "cultural" evoking the cultural history of the Metro in relation to that of the twentieth century thanks to thematic panels illustrated with iconic images by decades. The lighting is indirect, projected onto the walls and the vaults of the ceiling above the platforms. The beveled white ceramic tiles only cover the tunnel outlets, the outlets of the corridors and the walls under the crypt. The vault of the crypt is painted white, while its columns are covered with small flat white ceramic tiles laid vertically. The advertising frames are metallic and the name of the station is written in
