Inside the Gare de Lyon train station.

The main concourse of Gare de Lyon in Paris, France, is shown beneath the station’s expansive iron-and-glass train shed. Opened in 1900 for the Exposition Universelle, Gare de Lyon is one of Paris’s principal rail terminals, handling long-distance and regional traffic to southeastern France as well as onward international connections. Platform signs, waiting areas, and wayfinding for Métro and RER links underscore the station’s role as a major interchange within the capital’s rail and transit network.
