Porte Dauphine métro entrance

Fodor's Review:

Visitors come here to snap pictures of the queen of subway entrances, one of the city's two remaining Art Nouveau canopied originals designed by Hector Guimard (the other is at the Abbesses stop on Line 12). The flamboyant "crown" of amber-painted panels and runaway metal struts adorns this whimsical 1900 creation. The entrance is on the Bois de Boulogne side of Avenue Foch, so make certain to take the Boulevard de l'Amiral Bruix exit from the Line 2 station if you're traveling by métro.
