The line originates at the ''Quatre Cantons'' depot in [[Villeneuve-d'Ascq]], which serves as both a train storage facility and maintenance center. From this northern terminus, the initial open-trench section runs north to ''Quatre Cantons - Stade Pierre-Mauroy'' station. The alignment then transitions to a 1,225-meter elevated viaduct spanning ''Avenue Poincaré'' and ''Avenue Jean-Perrin'', providing service to the [[University of Lille]]'s {{Ill|Cité Scientifique (Université de Lille)|lt=scientific campus|fr|Cité scientifique}}. The viaduct terminates at ''Cité Scientifique - Professeur Gabillard'' station, located near the university library. After crossing ''Boulevard de Tournai'', the line returns to an open-trench configuration through Villeneuve-d'Ascq's Triolo district, where it serves Triolo station.{{Cite web |date=2009-10-03 |title=Stations de Métro |trans-title=Metro Stations |url=https://www.zoomsurlille.fr/decouvrir-lille/reportages/stations-metro |access-date=2025-04-04 |website=Zoom Sur Lille |language=fr-FR}}

After serving the Triolo district and crossing the {{Ill|National Route 227 (France)|lt=RN 227 road|fr|Route nationale 227}}, the line turns westward and transitions into a covered trench before splitting to reach ''{{Ill|Villeneuve-d'Ascq - Hôtel de Ville station|lt=Villeneuve-d'Ascq - Hôtel de Ville station|fr|Villeneuve-d'Ascq - Hôtel de Ville (métro de Lille)}}''. This station has a unique layout compared to others on the line, featuring a central platform with tracks on either side (most stations have a central track flanked by two side platforms). Beyond the station, the trench merges back into a two-track alignment and continues underground beneath the Pont-de-Bois district, where it serves the [[eponym]]ous station. ''Pont-de-Bois'' station provides connections to the regional rail network via an adjacent railway halt.
