Porte de Reuilly, city gate of Paris
Porte de Reuilly is a city gate in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, located on boulevard Poniatowski near the Bercy neighborhood. It serves as an entry point connecting the city to the southeast and sits positioned between Porte Dorée and Porte de Charenton, roughly 300 meters from each.
The gate was built during Paris's 19th-century expansion as a functional entry point at the city limits. Before urbanization, the area served as a game preserve called remise des groseilliers in the 18th century, a property kept for animals before the city's growth transformed the landscape.
The gate connects conveniently to metro line 8, with stations at Porte Dorée and Porte de Charenton each about 300 meters away, plus the tramway T3a nearby. From this point, visitors can easily access the Reuilly sports field via Place du Cardinal-Lavigerie.
