The main entrance to the station is in Place Saint-Michel on the Rive Gauche of the Seine. There is also a satellite entrance to the platforms of Line B on Place Notre-Dame, which is on the Île de la Cité across the Seine from Place Saint-Michel. The platforms of RER B are underneath the Seine and pass at right-angles under the RER C platforms.

Bombing

On 25 July 1995, the station was the target of a terrorist attack, with a gas bottle exploding near one of the platforms, killing eight and wounding 80 people.
