Porte d'Arcueil

The Porte d'Arcueil stands as a passage point between Paris and its southern suburbs, marking a significant entry into the French capital.

Built during the construction of the Thiers Wall in the 19th century, this gate controlled access to the Chemin des Prêtres route into Paris.

The gate forms part of the architectural landscape near the International University City of Paris, connecting educational and residential zones.

The gate remains accessible through the T3a tramway line and RER B station Cité Universitaire, facilitating movement between central Paris and suburbs.

Located at the corner of Parc Montsouris, the gate maintains its original position where the N20 road enters the city limits.
