Métro Passy

Passy station is a largely above-ground stop on Line 6 of the Paris Métro, located on the southeastern edge of the Quartier de la Muette in the 16th arrondissement. The name comes from the former village of Passy, which was annexed by Paris in 1860. The station opened on November 5, 1903, as a temporary terminus and reached its present length only in 1906. It has been served by Line 6 since 1942. Architecturally, the 75-meter-long station is special because it sits on the north slope of the Seine riverbank and passes under the Rue de l’Alboni. The side platforms are covered outside the tunnel and feature masonry walls with geometric patterns. A striking feature is the transition to the elevated line, which crosses the Seine over the Pont de Bir-Hakeim. The cultural connection is also of interest to travelers: the main action of the well-known film "Last Tango in Paris" is set in the immediate vicinity. Here, visitors experience a mix of historic infrastructure and urban landscape on the banks of the Seine.
