Porte d'Orléans, City gate in 14th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Porte d'Orléans stands at the intersection of Avenue du General Leclerc, Boulevard Brune, and Boulevard Jourdan, marking a major entrance to Paris.
Elements of General Philippe Leclerc's 2nd Armored Division entered through this gate on August 24, 1944, during the liberation of Paris in World War II.
The gate forms part of the Thiers wall system, which included 17 gates designed to regulate access and protect Paris during the nineteenth century.
The location functions as a transportation center with metro line 4, tramway T3, multiple bus stations, and direct access to highways A6a and A10.
From 1893 to 1937, the Arpajonnais narrow-gauge railway operated through Porte d'Orléans, connecting Les Halles market to southern agricultural regions.
