Champs-Élysées - Clemenceau is a station on lines 1 and 13

of the Paris Métro in the 8th arrondissement.

 

The stations platforms and access tunnels lie beneath

Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Place Clemenceau.

 

It is one of the eight original stations opened as part of the

first section of line 1 between Porte de Vincennes and

Porte Maillot on 19 July 1900.

 

The line 13 platforms were opened on 18 February 1975 as

part of the line's extension from Miromesnil. It was the southern

terminus of the line until its extension under the Seine to

connect with old line 14, which was then incorporated into line

13 on 9 November 1976.

 

Situated to the north of the station is the Elysee Palace, the

official residence of the President of France. To the south are

the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais.

 

Erected along the outside of Georges Clemenceau Place are

statues of world leaders involved in the two world wars:

Georges Clemenceau, Charles de Gaulle and Winston Churchill.
