Porte de Choisy

The Porte de Choisy stands at the intersection of major roads, marking a historic entrance point into Paris through the former city walls.

During the 19th century, this gate formed part of the Thiers wall defenses, which encircled Paris to regulate trade and movement into the capital.

The gate area has developed into a transportation center where three different rail systems intersect, reflecting the evolution of Paris infrastructure.

Visitors can access the location through multiple entrances at Avenue de Choisy, Boulevard Masséna, and Avenue de la Porte-de-Choisy.

The station beneath the gate serves as both a regular metro stop and the northern terminus for the T9 tramway line.
