Abbesses is a Paris Métro station in Montmartre (18th arrondissement or district), on Line 12 (green). It is between Pigalle and Larmarck-Caulaincourt, with just this single entrance/exit. The platforms are the deepest of any Paris Métro station, 36 metres underground and 2.35 million passengers use the station every year.
Today, the entrance has one of the last two surviving original glass covered Art Nouveau style édicules designed by Henri Guimard, but when the station opened in 1913, it had a completely different entrance cover. This one was moved here from Hotel de Ville in 1974.

It's a shame that only two are left. They are so nice! I hope they are classified as Monuments Historiques.
