Paris Métro Line 8 is one of 16 lines of the Paris Métro in France. It connects the Balard station in southwestern Paris to Créteil – Pointe du Lac station in Créteil, a town south-east of the French capital, following a parabolic route on the right bank of the Seine River. It was the last line of the original 1898 Paris Métro plan and was initially meant to link the Porte d'Auteuil and the Opéra stations. This initial section opened in December 1913.
