The Metro Anvers is on line 2 of the Paris metro, located on the administrative border between the Rochechouart and the Clignancourt quartiers or neighborhoods.on the border of the 9éme and 18éme arrondissements, The station is located under the boulevard Marguerite-de-Rochechouart, at the level of the place d’Anvers, The station carries as a sub- title Sacré-Coeur, in order to recall its relative proximity to the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre (see posts), The station has a single entrance, named “Boulevard de Rochechouart – Sacré-Cœur,” which opens onto the central reservation of the aforementioned boulevard opposite No 70, at the corner of Rue de Steinkerque. Consisting of a fixed staircase, it is adorned with a Guimard-designed entrance structure. Consisting of a fixed staircase, it is decorated with a Guimard aedicula, It owes its name to its proximity to the Place d’Anvers , which bear the name of the Belgian city of Antwerp (which is Anvers in Fr) where French troops won a victory over the Dutch during of the siege of the citadel of Antwerp in 1832. The station opened on October 7, 1902, with the commissioning of the second section of Line 2 North from Étoile (now Charles de Gaulle – Étoile station). It served as the temporary terminus from Porte Dauphine until April 2, 1903, when the line was extended a second time to Bagnolet (now Alexandre Dumas station). This same line became more simply line 2 on October 17, 1907 following the absorption of line 2 South (corresponding to a large part of the current line 6) by line 5, which took place on the previous October 14. I have come by car here too good underground parking at the Saemes Anvers car park, 41 boulevard de Rochechouart, The picture is actually coming out from this parking walking to Sacré Cœur !

Between the two, the Pont Mirabeau bridge also overlooks the quay. The entire quay, on the Seine side, is occupied by the port of Javel. It takes over from the Pont de Mirabeau to the Quai André Citroën to the Eiffel Tower! As my pic !

The metro Cité is a station on line 4 of the Paris Métro, located in the 4éme arrondissement of Paris. The station is built on a curve beneath the Île de la Cité, between the Rue de Lutèce and the northern branch of the Seine river. It is the only station on the network built under an island. It owes its name to its location beneath the Île de la Cité, considered the ancient cradle of the city of Paris, formerly Lutece. The name “Cité” refers to the fortified boundaries of Paris as they existed at the end of Antiquity, reduced to the island alone, which formed the urban core of the medieval city. The station has a single entrance called “Place Louis-Lépine,” opening onto No 2 of this square. Consisting of a fixed staircase, it is adorned with a Guimard-designed structure. The former exit providing direct access to the police headquarters and the courthouse, still visible, is located in the May courtyard of the courthouse, to the right of the monumental gate upon entering. The other disused exit, on the western side of the flower market, is also still visible. Access to the platforms is via fixed staircases or elevators. In 1905, the construction of Line 4 led to the above-ground dismantling of a large part of the flower market. For the needs of the construction site, a power plant was built on the island; the building, later repurposed, still exists at 19 Rue Chanoinesse. Before construction began, preventative archaeological excavations were carried out, unearthing remains of the ancient Lutetia city wall as well as architectural and sculpted elements, which were transferred to the Carnavalet Museum (see post). The station was finally inaugurated on December 10, 1910, more than 11 months after the opening of the section of Line 4 between Châtelet and Raspail. Along with the neighboring Saint-Michel station, due to their depth, it was one of two stops equipped in 1911 with an elevator connecting the signal box to the platforms, after République, which was the very first on the network to benefit from this in 1910. Formerly, the station was connected to the police headquarters, the courthouse, and the commercial court, all located nearby. These underground passages were reportedly used to escape the nazis during WWII.

The Cafe de L’ Epoque is at the corner of Rue du Bouloi (see post), and rue Croix des Petits Champs (see post) next to the Galerie Vero Dodat (see post) ,and in front there is the parking Indigo rue Croix des Petits Champs, On one side overlooks the Galerie Véro-Dodat, the other the Ministry of Culture. A beautiful, very classic establishment with mirrors and 1930s lighting, boasting a lovely, well-oriented terrace, perfect for both summer and winter. Closest transports Metro Palais Royal, line 1. The café de l’Epoque opened in 1923 in a covered passage near the Palais Royal, this establishment is the archetype of the Parisian bistro: old-fashioned tiles, lace curtains, and a heavy velvet drape at the entrance. Other local businessmen dine inside or directly in the Galerie Véro-Dodat, where a few tables are set up. A timeless place with its black and white diamond-patterned marble floors that create a beautiful perspective effect, its ceilings adorned with landscapes, and its glass roof. One of the chic eating places in Paris that I passed by it several times but never eaten inside.
