Porte du Point-du-Jour

The Porte du Point-du-Jour stands at a historic crossroads between the city of Paris and the commune of Boulogne-Billancourt. Originally, this location served as a gateway through the nineteenth century Thiers Wall, the massive line of fortifications that once encircled Paris. While those walls have long since vanished, this specific gate remained a vital entry point for centuries, marking the transition from the dense urban landscape of the capital to the fields and later industrial zones that lined the banks of the Seine.
