Porte Maillot (French pronunciation:[pɔʁtmajo];lit. 'Maillot Gate') is a station onLine 1 of theParis Métro. It is connected to theNeuilly–Porte Maillot railway station on theRER C andRER E, as well as a stop oftramway Line T3b. The station in its current form opened in 1937, replacing the original Porte Maillot station that opened in 1900 as the original terminus of Line 1. It serves thePalais des Congrès and has exits towardsNeuilly-sur-Seine. It is located close to theBois de Boulogne.
The first station called "Porte Maillot" opened in 1900 and was the terminus ofLine 1,[1]: 14 and was therefore a loop, allowing trains to turn around without reversing. LikePorte Dauphine andPorte de Vincennes, it was arranged with a central waiting area and tracks on either side, with two tunnels.
When Line 1 was extended to the west toPont de Neuilly in 1937,[1]: 15 the station needed to be replaced as it was at the same depth as the tunnels of the railway line today served by the RER C. Thus, the tunnel of the Line 1 extension descends and passes under the old loop, and then reaches the new station at a distance of approximately 100 meters from the old station.[2] The platforms of the new station were built 105 metres long to accommodate 7-car trains in the future, a plan which has never been realised.[3]
In 1992, the old station was turned into a reception area by the RATP called the "Espace Maillot". It was again transformed in 1997 into a maintenance facility for the newMP 05 rolling stock.
In 1988, the RER C started serving theNeuilly – Porte Maillot station of the RER C. In 2024, an extension of RER E fromHaussmann–Saint-Lazare toLa Défense opened with a new underground station atNeuilly – Porte Maillot. The metro station is connected to the RER E station via an underground corridor, from where the RER C station can be reached via another corridor.

The current station is made up of two parallel stations, each of standard configuration with two platforms separated by the metro tracks under an elliptical arch. The trains run on the outer tracks, the others being used as termini or garages. The decoration is in the style used for the majority of metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in theGaudin style of the metro revival of the 2000s (with the exception of one on the south platform of the north station), and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls, the vault, and the tunnel exits. The advertising frames are made of brown ceramic and the name of the station is inscribed in the metro's font,Parisine, on enamelled plaques. The platforms are equipped with yellowAkiko seats, and are fully equipped with screen doors, as is the north platform of the south station (the fourth platform, bordered by a dead-end track on the east side, has façade modules only at the ends, on the spaces not covered by the trains that are parked there).
The station is served by bus lines 73, 82, PC, 244 and 274 (remotely, from the Porte des Ternes stop) of theRATP Bus Network and by lines N11, N24, N151 and N153 of theNoctilien night bus service as well as tram T3b.[4] In addition, it is at the origin of a bus link toBeauvais-Tillé Airport.
