One of the walls is adorned with coat of arms of other Gilly's in Europe, while the opposite wall features the lyrics of El pétite gayole, a song in Walloon language written by Belgian artist Julos Beaucarne.

While trams drive on the right on most of the Charleroi Pre-metro network, they drive on the left on the Gilly line.
