Trocadéro (French pronunciation:[tʁɔkadeʁo]^ⓘ) is astation onLine 6 andLine 9 of theParis Métro in the16th arrondissement. It serves and is named after the Place duTrocadéro.

The station opened on 2 October 1900 as a branch ofLine 1 fromÉtoile to Trocadéro. On 5 November 1903, the line was extended toPassy; the line from Étoile to Trocadéro and Passy became known asLine 2 South as part of a planned ring line around central Paris to be built under or over the boulevards built in place of the demolishedWall of the Farmers-General; this circle is now operated as two lines: 2 and 6. On 14 October 1907, the line from Étoile to Trocadéro,Place d'Italie andGare du Nord became part ofline 5. On 6 October 1942 the section of line 5 from Étoile to Trocadéro and Place d'Italie was transferred to Line 6. The Line 9 platforms opened on 8 November 1922 as part of the first section of the line from Trocadéro toExelmans.

The Place de Trocadéro owes its name to the fortified position inPuerto Real, on the Bay ofCadiz in the south ofSpain, which was captured in theBattle of Trocadero by French troops led byLouis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême,Charles X's son in 1823. This name was also given to the "Moorish" palace built for theWorld Fair of 1878. The palace was demolished in 1937 and was replaced by the currentPalace of Chaillot.

The station is near theBarrière Sainte-Marie, a gate built for the collection of taxation as part of the Wall of the Farmers-General; the gate was built between 1784 and 1788 and demolished in 1830.^[1][2]

• Access No. 2 -Avenue Kléber;
• Access No. 3 -Avenue Raymond-Poincaré;

The platforms of the two lines are of standard configuration. Two per stopping point, they are separated by the metro tracks located in the centre and the vault is elliptical.

The line 6 station is decorated in the style used for most metro stations. The lighting canopies are white and rounded in theGaudin style of the 2000s metro revival, and the bevelled white ceramic tiles cover the walls and tunnel exits. The vault is coated and painted white. The advertising frames are made of white ceramic and the name of the station is inscribed inParisine font on enamelled plaques. The seats are theAkiko style in green.

The platforms of line 9 are furnished in theAndreu-Motte style with two green light canopies, while the benches, the tunnel exits and outlets of the corridors are treated in flat green tiles andMotte seats of the same colour. This decoration is married with the white flat tiles applied to the walls and vault. The advertisements are devoid of frames and the name of the station is written in Parisine font on enamelled plates. It is one of the few stations to still have the entireAndreu-Motte layout.

The name of the station is subtitled Eiffel Tower, named after the nearby Eiffel Tower. This name appears only on the plaques placed in the corridors of line 9 (line 6 already has this subtitle for Bir-Hakeim station).

The station is served by lines 22, 30, 32 and 63 of theRATP Bus Network and, at night, by line N53 of theNoctilien network.
