Porte d'Issy

The Porte d'Issy stands as a passage point between Paris and its outskirts, featuring architectural elements from the 19th century municipal design.

The gate emerged during the 1860 expansion of Paris, when authorities integrated surrounding communes into the city and established new entry checkpoints.

This entrance serves as a testament to Paris's urban planning, reflecting the period when the city systematically organized its boundaries and access points.

Located near public transportation links, the gate connects to both metro and bus lines, facilitating movement between central Paris and the southern suburbs.

The structure marks the exact point where the historical tax collection occurred for goods entering Paris, maintaining its original positioning at 48.8343°N latitude.
