The station opened on 16 April 1926.

It is situated in the 1st arrondissement, close to the Paris Mint. The underground station takes its name from  Pont Neuf - the oldest bridge in Paris, although its name means "new bridge". At its time was the newest, all older bridges have since dissappeared.

The station is served by the metro line 7.

 

 

The narrow entrance is surrounded by a green metal enclosure made of bars of two different lengths.

 

The the right side is a green lamppost with a white globe light.

At the back is a green display cabinet with some advertising and the station name and number of metro line above it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Four solid metal doors in metal frames mark the exit. The doors swing open in the middle when a pressure pad on the ground is pressed by approaching each door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Large ceramic reproductions of coins have been fixed to the tiled ceiling, dropping into one of the advertising frame.

The frames are made of mustard coloured ceramic tiles with a cabbage leaf pattern.

Under the platform sign is a small showcase with coins.

 

 

 

One of the platforms displays a large coin press on a low pedestal behind a brass barrier.

 

Behind it is a painted monochrome scene on square tiles depicting a coin press in action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tracks

 

The tracks are between the two platforms.

 

The walls and ceiling are tiled in small horizontal ceramic tiles with a raised centre.

Orange plastic seats have been placed on a base tiled with orange ceramic tiles.

Lights have been added in matching rectangular metal boxes fixed above the platform edge.

The electronic display sign shows line number and directorion - in this case La Courneuve -, the time and the waiting time until the next two trains.

 

 

 

The signage consists of large white letters on a background of dark blue, square ceramic tiles. Underneath in slightly smaller white letters is written LA MONNAIE (The Mint). The tiles are surrounded by a frame of white curved tiles.
