Place de la Bataille de Stalingrad and Bassin de la Villette
Between the Saint-Martin canal and the Bassin de la Villette is the Bataille de Stalingrad place, dominated by the neoclassical Rotonde de la Villette, with portico and pediments surmounted by a rotunda. This was one of the toll houses designed by the architect Ledoux as part of Louis XVI's scheme to tax all goods entering the city.
Backing the toll house is an elegant aerial stretch of métro, supported by Neoclassical iron and stone pillars.
