Tramway line T3 is the first modern tramway in Paris proper. Opened on 16 December 2006, it is known as the Tramway des Maréchaux because it follows the boulevards des maréchaux, a series of streets that encircle Paris along the route of the former Thiers Wall (built 1841-44) named after many of Napoleon's marshals (maréchaux). It connects Boulevard Victor - Pont du Garigliano RER station in the western part of the XVe arrondissement with Porte d'Ivry metro station in the XIIIe arrondissement.

The line carries 100 000 people per day. Work began in early 2009 on a 14.5 km extension from Porte d’Ivry to Porte de la Chapelle, via Porte de Charenton. This is expected to be completed by 2012.^[1]
