Porte Molitor, City gate in 16th arrondissement, France

The Porte Molitor features stone construction and stands at the intersection of multiple transportation routes in western Paris.

The gate was constructed as part of Paris's city fortifications and later became connected to an underground metro station that never opened to passengers.

The structure shares its name with the adjacent Molitor building, designed by architect Le Corbusier who maintained his residence there from 1934 to 1965.

Visitors can reach the gate using metro lines 9 and 10, with stations Porte de Saint-Cloud and Porte d'Auteuil located within walking distance.

The unused metro platform beneath Porte Molitor now functions as a garage for trains, with tracks merging into a single line at both ends.

Location: 16th arrondissement of Paris
