Métro stations: Porte Dauphine (detail of the entrance)
by GUIMARD, Hector, Photo
Guimard’s M�tro entrances - fantastic shapes that are almost a metamorphosis of architecture and nature, ornamentation with a practical application - made him immortal and led to French Art Nouveau being at times called Style M�tro.
The letters of the stations and the famous “Metropolitan” were also invented by Guimard.
