Gare de Lyon train station.

Gare de Lyon in Paris, France, is shown from its main façade, with the station’s clock tower and sculpted Belle Époque exterior prominent above the forecourt. The terminal was built for the 1900 Exposition Universelle and is one of Paris’s principal railway stations, handling services to southeastern France as well as international routes linked to Switzerland and Italy. Located on the right bank of the Seine in the 12th arrondissement, the station remains a major hub in the SNCF rail network and for regional connections in the Paris metropolitan area.
