Paris Métro Line 8 is one of 16 lines of the
Paris Métro in France. It connects the
Balard station in southwestern Paris to
Créteil – Pointe du Lac station in
Créteil, a town south-east of the French capital, following a parabolic route on the right bank of the
Seine River. It was the last line of the original 1898 Paris Métro plan and was initially meant to link the
Porte d'Auteuil and the
Opéra stations. This initial section opened in December 1913.
