Transport: get an exclusive first look at the future Saint-Denis–Pleyel station project.

In 2027, the Saint-Denis – Pleyel station will unveil a monumental work by artist Prune Nourry. Entitled “Les Vénus dyonisiennes,” the installation will showcase 108 sculptures inspired by the earliest depictions of women in the Paleolithic era.

Installed up to 27 meters high in the atrium at the heart of an Île-de-France station, these universal figures will stand 1.70 meters tall. Each will be coated with a patina drawn from various local clays. To give every piece its own identity, Prune Nourry has conceived a "combination of eight shapes linked to a range of 13 earth tones—from black to brown ochre, including red, yellow and white," according to a press release.

Designed with the participation of women from Saint-Denis, this artistic project is thus slated to arrive at a major Île-de-France railway hub in 2027. In the meantime, the Société des grands projets has decided to exceptionally open the artist’s studio to the public, tucked on the first floor of the Saint-Denis – Pleyel station. For four days only, from Thursday, October 22 to Sunday, October 25, 2026, visitors and travelers will be able to get a first look at all 108 sculptures.

Meanwhile, Prune Nourry has been chosen to elevate the Saint-Denis – Pleyel station with her 108 Venus statues.
