Gare de Lyon Train Station in Paris France
Gare de Lyon Train Station in Paris France.

Platforms at Paris Gare de Lyon in Paris are covered by the station’s long iron-and-glass train shed, with TGV equipment visible along the tracks. Located in the 12th arrondissement, Gare de Lyon is one of the capital’s principal terminal stations and handles high-speed services to southeastern France as well as regional and long-distance trains. The station opened in 1855 for the Paris–Lyon line and was extensively rebuilt and expanded around the 1900 Exposition Universelle, establishing much of the complex still in use today.
