Piges is a Charleroi Metro station, located in Dampremy (part of the Charleroi municipality), in fare zone 1. The station is built on a viaduct and is accessed through escalators and stairs from a street entrance located on Chaussée de Bruxelles (Brussels Road).
Although the station is built on a viaduct, tracks enter a tunnel at its western end, as they pass under a spoil tip (Terril des Piges) toward Dampremy.
A tram line to Gosselies starts at the station.
Nearby points of interest
