Porte de Gentilly, City gate in 14th arrondissement, France

The Porte de Gentilly stands at the intersection of Boulevard Kellermann and Boulevard Jourdan, marking a passage between Paris and its southern suburbs.

During World War I in 1918, the area around Porte de Gentilly experienced damage when an artillery shell from Grosse Bertha exploded on Boulevard Kellermann.

The gate links the Maison-Blanche neighborhood to the Parc-de-Montsouris district, near the Cité Internationale Universitaire and Stade Charléty sports complex.

Travelers can access the gate via the Cité Universitaire RER B station or the Stade Charléty station on Tram Line T3a.

The location marks the starting point of the A6a highway branch, connecting to the ring road exclusively from and toward its eastern section.
