Quiet moment on the platforms at Paris Gare de Lyon
Platforms under the iron-and-glass train shed at Paris Gare de Lyon appear quiet as a few travelers walk along the concourse beside multiple sets of tracks. On the left, a row of weathered stone pillars and green-painted doors bears signage for TGV services, with protective netting strung high above the facade. Dark bollards line a marked pedestrian lane, and electronic displays and clocks hang near the platform edge. Through the canopy, an overcast sky is visible, and long-distance SNCF trains wait in the distance. Located in the 12th arrondissement, the station is one of France’s busiest hubs, connecting Paris to southeastern cities via high-speed lines since the late 20th century and serving conventional routes established long before.
