Paris Métro Line 12 in the context of "Porte de Versailles"

The Place de la Concorde (French: [plas də la kɔ̃kɔʁd] ; lit. 'Harmony Square'), originally Place Louis XV ('Louis XV Square'), and later Place Louis XVI ('Louis XVI Square'), is a public square in Paris, France. Measuring 7.6 ha (19 acres) in area, it is the largest square in the French capital. It is located in the city's eighth arrondissement, at the eastern end of the Champs-Élysées.

It was the site of many notable public executions, including Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Maximilien Robespierre in the course of the French Revolution, during which the square was temporarily renamed the Place de la Révolution ('Revolution Square'). It received its current name in 1795 as a gesture of reconciliation in the later years of the revolution, although later the original name was reverted for a period. A metro station is located at the northeastern corner of Place de la Concorde on Lines 1, 8, and 12 of the Paris Métro.

Paris Métro Line 11 (French: Ligne 11 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen currently open lines of the Paris Métro. It links Châtelet to Rosny–Bois-Perrier in Rosny-sous-Bois, in the neighboring department of Seine-Saint-Denis. Opened in 1935, line 11 was one of the last historical lines to be put into service, even after the first parts of lines 12 and 13. It was then intended to replace the Belleville funicular tramway, which closed in 1924. The line is 11.7 km (7.3 mi) in length with 19 stations.

Before its 2024 extension east from Mairie des Lilas, it was one of the least used lines, with less than forty million passengers in 2023, and also ran the oldest trains still in service, the MP 59. The RATP expects thirty-one million more in 2025 after the eastbound expansion.

Opéra (French: [ɔpeʁa] ) is a station on Lines 3, 7 and 8 of the Paris Métro. It is named after the nearby Opéra Garnier. Located at the end of the Avenue de l'Opéra, it serves the district of Boulevard Haussmann. Its main entrances are located on the Place de l'Opéra, built in a marble design (instead of the characteristic iron metro entrances of Hector Guimard), to not spoil the view of the opera house.

The station is connected by an underground passage to Auber on RER A. From Auber, additional stations and lines can be reached via a sequence of underground passages, namely Havre–Caumartin for Line 3 and Line 9, and Haussmann–Saint-Lazare for RER E, the latter being connected to Saint-Lazare for Line 3, Line 12, Line 13 and Line 14, and the latter in turn being connected to Saint-Augustin for Line 9.

The MF 67 (French: Métro Fer appel d'offres de 1967; English: Steel-wheeled metro ordered in 1967) is a fleet of steel-wheel electric multiple unit trains for the Paris Métro. The first MF 67 trains entered service on Line 3 in June 1968, and became one of the biggest orders for the Métro, with 1,482 cars constructed. The need to replace the Sprague-Thomson fleet, as well as increasing costs associated with the later-cancelled plan to introduce rubber-tyred trains on all Métro lines, were the main factors for the size of the order.

At its peak, during the late-1980s and the early-1990s, the MF 67 operated on eight of the (then) fifteen Métro lines (Lines 2, 3 and 3bis, 5, 7bis, 9, 10 and 12): the MF 67 also operated on Lines 7, 8 and 13 (including the old Line 14), all before the introduction of the MF 77 in 1978.

Paris Métro Line 13 (opened as Line B; French: Ligne 13 du métro de Paris) is one of the sixteen lines of the Paris Métro that are currently open. Built by the Nord-Sud Company as a shuttle servicing both Porte de Clichy and Saint-Ouen from Saint Lazare train station, Line B eventually became Line 13 in 1930, when the Nord-Sud was bought by rival Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain de Paris (CMP), while sister lines A became 12, and C the original line 14. Line 13 was extended in 1976 to reach the northern end of Line 14, which it then absorbed. Line number 14, now vacated, was eventually reused for Meteor in 1998.

Line 13 was once planned to be taken over by a north–south RER line connecting the rail yards of Saint Lazare and Montparnasse train stations, but this was cancelled after the reorganisation of the Île-de-France region in 1965. Today, Line 13 connects the western part of Paris to the suburbs of Asnières-sur-Seine, Gennevilliers, Clichy, Saint-Denis and Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine in the north and to Malakoff, Vanves, Châtillon and Montrouge in the south. Serving 32 stations, it is the network's fifth busiest line, with 131.4 million passengers in 2017.

Porte de Versailles (French pronunciation: [pɔʁt də vɛʁsɑj]; lit. 'Gate of Versailles') is a station on Line 12 of the Paris Métro, a stop on tramway Line T3a, as well as the southern terminus of tramway Line T2 in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the Porte de Versailles, a gate in the 19th-century Thiers wall of Paris, which led to the city of Versailles.

Pasteur (French pronunciation: [pastœʁ] ) is a station on Lines 6 and 12 of the Paris Métro in the 15th arrondissement. It is named after the French chemist Louis Pasteur. The platforms for both lines are situated underground, although Line 6 becomes elevated just after the northwest end of the station. Nearby are the Pasteur Institute (research facility) and the Lycée Buffon (school).
