Champ de Mars–Tour Eiffel (French pronunciation: [ʃɑ̃ də maʁs tuʁ ɛfɛl]) is a railway station on the RER C line of the Paris Region's express suburban rail system, the Réseau Express Régional (RER). It is in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, close to the Champ de Mars and Eiffel Tower, after which it is named.
The site has accommodated a total of five stations. The station was originally built to receive goods necessary for the construction of the pavilions for the Exposition Universelle of 1867, and for subsequent World's Fairs in 1878, 1889, 1900 and 1937. The location was chosen as it was then a large piece of land devoid of buildings, facing the Trocadéro and the École Militaire. It was built on the street corner of the Avenue de Suffren and the Quai Branly.
