Abbesses Metro Station in Montmartre, Paris, the station's glass covered entrance or édicule was designed by Hector Guimard, Paris, France

---

The station's entrance, designed by Hector Guimard (1867–1942), is one of only two remaining glass-covered "dragonfly" entrances, known as édicules (the other is located at Porte Dauphine, while a replica exists at Châtelet). Though a Guimard original, the édicule at Abbesses was originally located at Hôtel de Ville and was transferred to its current location in 1974.
