Porte de la Chapelle, City gate in 18th arrondissement, France
The Porte de la Chapelle stands as a major entry point in northern Paris, connecting the city to suburban areas through multiple transportation routes.
This gate originated from the 19th-century Thiers wall and marked the location of an ancient Roman road leading from Paris to Calais via Saint-Denis.
The name Porte de la Chapelle traces back to a 6th-century chapel dedicated to Saint Genevieve, which defined the identity of this district.
The location serves as a transportation hub with Metro line 12, tramway line 3b, and direct access to major highways leading north of Paris.
The area transforms with the construction of the Adidas Arena, preparing to host events during the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games.
