Tramway line T3 is the first modern tramway in Paris proper. Opened on December 16, 2006, it is known as the Tramway des Maréchaux because it follows the boulevards that were built on the route of Thiers' fortifications around Paris (built 1841-45) 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 is expected to carry 100,000 passengers per day. Planned extensions include a link to Porte de Charenton in 2011 and eventually Porte de la Chapelle.
