Porte Dauphine (Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny) is a station of the Paris Métro. It is the western terminus of Line 2.
[edit] History
The Porte Dauphine station was inaugurated on December 13 1900. At the time, Line 2 had only been completed as far as Charles de Gaulle-Etoile. It now runs from Porte Dauphine around the northern part of Paris, through Montmartre, around to its eastern terminus at the Place de la Nation.
The station is famous because it contains one of the only two remaining aedicules originally designed by Hector Guimard (1867-1942), the famous Art Nouveau architect who was originally commissioned by the Compagnie de Métropolitain de Paris (CMP) in 1899 to design the entrances for the Métropolitain stations. (The second is at Abbesses.)
Nearby, one can transfer to the RER C at Avenue Foch station (no direct transfer).
