The 15th arrondissement of Paris (XVe arrondissement) is one of the 20 arrondissements of the capital city of France. In spoken French, this arrondissement is referred to as quinzième. The arrondissement, called Vaugirard, is situated on the left bank of the River Seine. Sharing the Montparnasse district with the 6th and 14th arrondissements, it is the city's most populous arrondissement. The Tour Montparnasse – the tallest skyscraper in Paris – and the neighbouring Gare Montparnasse are both located in the 15th arrondissement, at its border with the 14th. It is also home to the convention center Paris expo Porte de Versailles and the high-rise district of the Front de Seine (or Beaugrenelle). In 2026, the 180 meters high Tour Triangle will house a 120-room hotel and 70,000 square metres of office space.

Commerce (Paris Métro)
Commerce (Paris Métro)

Commerce (French pronunciation: [kɔmɛʁs] (listen)) is a station on line 8 of the Paris Métro in the Rue du Commerce, at the intersection with the Place du Commerce in the 15th arrondissement. The station was opened on 27 July 1937 as part of the extension of line 8 from La Motte-Picquet - Grenelle to Balard. The rue du Commerce, as its name suggests, is a shopping street in the district of Grenelle. The whole span of the street, from Motte-Picquet to the Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste, is occupied by a mix of high-street shopping, amongst which are about 20 national and international brands, and small, typically Parisian food stores and cafés. After major real estate development in the 1990s and early 2000s, the street and surrounding neighborhood have managed to maintain much of their peripheral faubourg or small-town feel while prospering as one of the major centers for population attraction in the 15th arrondissement. The center section of the place du Commerce is occupied by a small urban park. The street is very narrow; when the station was built underneath it, the platforms had to be built offset from each other because of the limited space (as is the case for Métro station Liège). Commerce has two access points, one on each side of the Place du Commerce. Both points are entrance/exit types and lead to a central underground hall with ticket vending machines and an information booth. The southern access point is equipped with a street-bound mechanical elevator. The Eglise Saint-Jean-Baptiste, at the southern extremity of the rue du Commerce was built in 1825, and was massively renovated between 1924 and 1926. There are two Vélib' bicycle stations near Commerce station, one on rue Lakanal, opposite the station, and one on rue Violet, on the far side of Place du Commerce.
