Paris Métro: Château Rouge (Line 4) – Night Glow in the Goutte d'Or.

Château Rouge station (Line 4) a nighttime view of one of Paris's lively northern Métro gateways. Opened in 1908, the station takes its name from the former 'Château Rouge,' an 18th-century pleasure house demolished long ago. The Goutte d'Or neighborhood it serves became a key arrival area for North and West African immigrants from the 1950s onward, earning the nickname "Little Africa." Today the area pulses with life, especially at nearby Marché Barbès, one of Paris's most colorful daily markets for spices, fabrics, produce, and street eats. A Métro stop that opens onto one of the city's most dynamic and diverse quartiers.

It’s far enough from the crowds at Trocadéro or Champ de Mars to let you enjoy the tower in relative peace, yet close enough that its presence dominates the horizon. Practical tip: From this spot on the Pont de Bir-Hakeim walk under the metro bridge down the steps on the other side then along the full length of the Allée des Cygnes (about 850 metres) for changing angles and to view the quarter-scale Statue of Liberty at the southern tip, which faces west toward its big sister in New York. “You don’t look for the Tower — you simply notice when she finds you.” Part of the “Take on the Tower” Series Each Tuesday, we turn our gaze toward the Eiffel Tower — seen not as a monument, but as a ...
