Les Sablons (French pronunciation: ​[le sablɔ̃]) is a station on Line 1 of the Paris Métro in the commune of Neuilly-sur-Seine west of the city. In 2019 Les Sablons ranked 53rd in passenger volume among the system’s 302 stations. The station is located under Avenue Charles de Gaulle, a major traffic artery between Etoile and La Defense. It has two entrances, each located on the median on opposite sides of the Avenue. The name of the station and its immediate neighborhood derives from the Plaine des Sablons, as much of present-day Neuilly was known prior to its urbanization. The station signage is subtitled "Jardin d'Acclimatation," referring to the leisure park in the Bois de Boulogne 300 meters to the south. The Jardin is linked to the station area by the Boulevard des Sablons, whose name changes to Rue d’Orleans as it approaches Avenue Charles de Gaulle.

Musée national des Arts et Traditions Populaires (France)

The Musée national des Arts et Traditions Populaires was a museum of the popular arts and traditions of France. It was located in a building at 6, avenue du Mahatma Gandhi, Paris, France, which was closed to the public in 2005. Its collections were transferred to the Musée des Civilisations de l'Europe et de la Méditerranée in Marseilles. The museum was created in 1937 by Georges-Henri Rivière as the French section of the Trocadéro's Musée de l'Homme, in the basement of which it was open in 1951. In 1969 it moved to its own building, designed by architect Jean Dubuisson and set beside the Jardin d'Acclimatation (Porte des Sablons) in the Bois de Boulogne. Over the years its initial focus on traditional agricultural France broadened to include contemporary urban culture and popular entertainment (notably circus) with collections of French crafts and peasant civilisation, home furniture, agricultural tools, industrial and artisanal items, photographs and printed materials, and costumes. In 2017, the City of Paris decided to revamp and partially redesign its original building in the Bois de Boulogne (which had been left vacant), and relocate the collections of the Musée des Arts et Tradition Populaires in their original home. The work on the building will be privately financed by the Group LVMH, and led by the architect Frank Gehry, with the collaboration of Thomas Dubuisson, grandson of the original architect, Jean Dubuisson. The building should reopen in 2020.
