The Porte d’Ivry is marked today by a bustling interchange for the Paris Metro and the tramway, serving as a gateway between the thirteenth arrondissement and the suburb of Ivry-sur-Seine. The name refers to a gate that once stood here as part of the Thiers wall, a vast ring of fortifications built in the eighteen forties to defend the city against invasion.
