Yngvadottir (talk | contribs) Reverted the awkward split up of the initial section that also left an image floating next to the TOC, and some of the stylistic changes incl. premature mention and linkage of the company - introduced a few lines below. Source is clear the entries *were* too bulky to fit on some sites. A couple of tweaks. New ref conformed to rest, full bibliographic info - I wish I could see that book. |

===Guimard entrances elsewhere===
Some subway systems and museums outside France have examples of Guimard Métro entrances, mostly replicas presented by the RATP in exchange for art works.
* ''[[Entourage Guimard]]'': [[Square-Victoria-OACI station]] on the [[Montreal Metro]] in Canada has a genuine Guimard entrance made from parts of demolished Paris entrances (with map holder and "Métropolitain" sign and holder reproduced from the original molds). It was installed in 1967.<ref>[http://www.metrodemontreal.com/art/guimard/metro.html "Hector Guimard, Parisian metro entrance, 1900-1912"], [[Métro de Montréal]], retrieved April 10, 2018.</ref> During restoration in 2001–2002, it was found to have the last examples of the original glass light globes, which in Paris had been replaced with plastic for safety; one was returned to the RATP and the other placed on display in the [[Montreal Museum of Fine Arts]].<ref>Matt McLauchlin, [https://www.metrodemontreal.com/history/guimard/index.html "Restoration and Reinauguration of the Guimard Entrance"], Métro de Montréal, retrieved April 10, 2018.</ref>
