Porte des Lilas (French pronunciation: ​[pɔʁt de lilɑ]) is a station of the Paris Métro. It serves line 11 and is the northern terminus of line 3bis. Located on the edge of the 19th and 20th arrondissements of Paris, it serves the neighborhood of the Porte des Lilas. The station is named after the nearby Porte des Lilas, a gate in the nineteenth century Thiers Wall of Paris, which led to the town of Les Lilas. The station was referred to in Serge Gainsbourg's famous 1958 chanson "Le poinçonneur des Lilas" about the ennui of a Métro employee's workday. A Scopitone music video for the song was filmed in Porte des Lilas, showing the singer in a Métro uniform, punching tickets.Until January 2021 when line 14 was extended to Porte de Clichy, it was the only station at one of the gates of Paris to be served by two separate métro lines (it was served only by line 13 previously).
