Kléber is a station of the Paris Métro serving line 6 at the intersection of the Avenue Kleber and the Avenue des Portugais in the 16th arrondissement.
The station, in the direction of Nation, is the true terminus of line 6. Due to the single track loop at Charles de Gaulle - Étoile, the trains cannot stop there for long, so instead they depart quickly back round the loop and then wait for an extended period of time at Kléber.
The station opened on 2 October 1900 as a branch of line 1 from Étoile to Trocadéro. The Avenue Kléber commemorates Jean Baptiste Kléber (1753–1800), a General in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and particularly noted for his leadership in the Egyptian campaign, where he was assassinated. Fare Zone: 1.
