Is the Passy metro underground or above ground? Well, a bit of both. The station is located at the edge of the Chaillot hill, which supports the Trocadéro square right next to it. The underground part of the platforms extends onto a viaduct, leaving the station open-air. This original configuration allows you to gain height to see the platform from above, or on the contrary, to walk in the street under the pillars of the viaduct to follow the tracks of line 6 to the Seine.
The entire Passy village just steps away from the metro
The Passy metro allows you to reach anywhere in the neighborhood in just an instant. Within 300 meters, visit the Passy Park, the Clémenceau museum or the wine museum. It only takes a few more minutes to find Balzac's house and the shopping streets of the 16th arrondissement.
And what about crossing the Seine? The most famous monument in Paris is waiting for you! The Passy metro allows you to reach the Eiffel Tower in 10 minutes, passing through the Trocadéro Gardens, which are only 3 minutes away from the station.
An inspiring location for filmmakers
No doubt, the Passy Village is very photogenic. Its metro has attracted the attention of many film directors.
With its viaduct connecting to the Bir-Hakeim bridge, the Passy metro appears in several films. For example, you can watch Last Tango in Paris and Fear Over the City, made in the 70s, or more recent films like Munich by Steven Spielberg, and Mission Impossible Fallout with Tom Cruise.
