Porte de Bagnolet

The Porte de Bagnolet functions as a primary entrance point to eastern Paris, featuring multiple transportation connections and urban infrastructure elements.

This gate, established in the early 19th century, formed part of Paris's defensive system and later integrated into Haussmann's transformation of the capital.

The area surrounding Porte de Bagnolet represents a meeting point of different communities, with local markets and neighborhood gatherings throughout the year.

The location connects to metro line 3, tramway T3b, and several bus routes, providing direct access to both central Paris and eastern suburbs.

The station structure rests on 80 foundation piles, each measuring one meter in diameter, due to the particular geological composition of the ground.
