Porte de la Gare

The Porte de la Gare forms a central intersection between Quai de la Gare and Boulevard Vincent Auriol in the southeastern section of Paris.

This entrance point represents the evolution of Paris's city gates, which were initially built for tax collection and controlled access during the 19th century.

The gate marks a transition point between different neighborhoods, connecting the modern business district of Paris Rive Gauche with traditional residential areas.

The Porte de la Gare connects directly to Line 6 of the Paris Metro system through the Quai de la Gare station at 12 Boulevard Vincent Auriol.

The structure integrates into the contemporary urban layout while maintaining elements that reflect its original function as a city boundary marker.
