Poissonnière Location within Paris |
It is located near the junction between Rue La Fayette and the Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, after which it is named and along which fishmongers (French: Poissonnières) brought fish from Boulogne-sur-Mer and other harbours on the Channel coast to the market at Les Halles in chasse-marées. The route from the coast generally followed that of a Roman Road and entered nineteenth century Paris at the Porte des Poissonniers.
The station has three entrances on the Rue La Fayette and features a 1960s-style yellow neon Métro sign.
