Édicule Guimard, Art Nouveau historical monument in the 16th arrondissement, France.

This cast iron structure features stylized plant motifs with enameled lava panels and a double-sloped glass roof supported by three ornate pillars in organic curves.

Designed by Hector Guimard between 1900 and 1913, this kiosk represents the last surviving example of Type B metro station entrances from the Belle Époque period.

This work exemplifies the French Art Nouveau movement's philosophy of integrating artistic elements into functional urban architecture during the early 20th century in Paris.

Located at Porte Dauphine station on metro line 1, this historical monument listed since 1999 remains accessible to the public for architectural observation.

Nicknamed 'La Libellule' due to its distinctive wing-like appearance, it is the only intact Type B Guimard kiosk among the 167 entrances originally constructed.
