Which metro stations in Paris have the old-fashioned art nouveau signs?
I need to take a photo of a specific art nouveau metro sign in Paris, but not every station has them.
The sign has to look like this: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Paris_Metro_Sign.jpg
I can’t use this same image because I need to take the picture from another angle.
Can anyone tell me the names of any stations in Paris where they have seen a sign like this?
Thanks!
Hector Guimard was the architect who designed the Art Nouveau stations. Here is the list: http://lartnouveau.com/artistes/guimard.htm
EDIT: I just clicked on your link and realized the sign in your picture shows a later style (1908-1920). It shows a Val d’Osne lamp post (designed by Dervaux). This particular post and lettering style can be found at the following métro stations:
St-Michel
St-Placide
St-Paul
Here are pictures here :

In 1922, the Art Deco Dervaux Lamp post style replaced the Val d’Osne style. The Dervaux posts can be found at the following stations: Belleville, Champs-Elysées-Clémenceau and Porte Dauphine.
But those last two styles are not Art Nouveau.
