Île-de-France tramway Line 6 (usually called simply T6) is part of the modern tram network of the Île-de-France region of France. Line T6 connects Châtillon – Montrouge Paris Métro station and Viroflay-Rive-Droite station, south-west of Paris. Line T6 has the specificity of being one of the Île-de-France's two rubber-tyred tramway lines. The line has a length of 14 km (8.7 mi) and 21 stations.[1] It opened to the public on 13 December 2014.[1] The line was extended by 2.6 km (1.6 mi) (including a tunnel of 1.6 km (0.99 mi)) and two stations in May 2016.[1]

Line T6 is operated by the Régie autonome des transports parisiens (RATP) under the authority of Île-de-France Mobilités.[1]
