Porte de la Villette, City gate in 19th arrondissement, France.
The Porte de la Villette stands at the intersection of Paris, Pantin, and Aubervilliers, featuring an elevated ring road that crosses the site from east to west.
During the industrial era, this gate facilitated the transportation of goods to and from Paris, connecting to France's largest meat market with numerous abattoirs.
The gate connects to Parc de la Villette, which houses the Cité des Sciences, Europe's largest science museum, and the Philharmonie de Paris concert hall.
The area provides access to multiple transportation options, including the T3b tram line and metro stations that link visitors to central Paris and surrounding districts.
The site will transform through an environmental project that includes the creation of a large park and stronger urban connections with neighboring municipalities.
