Railway station France

Superb station in the Parisian style, and for good reason: it is the former Gare du Nord of the capital, completely dismantled and rebuilt in Lille. It hosts all the TER Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the Belgian connections to Ostend, Antwerp, Tournai, Mons... Almost all the TGV trains to the Gare du Nord in Paris leave from there. The metro is free to the Lille-Europe station upon presentation of your SNCF ticket. Modern and pleasant, the station is home to many stores including the famous Fnac and Nespresso.

Located on the left bank of the Tarn, Place Stalingrad, Albi-Ville station is served by several regional lines. You can easily reach the station from Rodez, Toulouse or Montauban.

The micheline makes its way from Bastia to Ajaccio and from Bastia to Calvi at a speed that's not at all what you'd expect from this means of transport! The Corsican train serves the interior of the island with the Bastia-Ajaccio line, which takes in unexpected tunnels through sublime landscapes. It also links Balagne with other micro-regions, and provides students at Corte university with a free means of transport.

It is the station for trains linking central and southern France: Orléans, Limoges, Montluçon, Toulouse, Brive, Cahors, as well as night trains to Nice and the Alps, in particular. The station's facade has been renovated, and its interior is the subject of a vast redevelopment project that has been ongoing for years. The only Parisian station to still have a few free platforms while the other stations are saturated, the Gare d'Austerlitz is set to grow in importance in the near future. In the meantime, it's the station of permanent works!

The work of electrification of the railway line between Saint-Etienne and Firminy enabled it now six years to accompany a modernisation of the stations located in the communes of Saint-Etienne, La Ricamarie, Le Feugerolles and Firminy. The reorganisation of these exchanges promotes the transport of the inhabitants. The Bellevue train station has been transformed: it saw its hub of exchanges, which gave rise to a more functional link with the station and Bellevue Square. In fact, the work focused on urban installations and public spaces in proximity (of the railway station, pedestrian zones…) and in particular the demolition and reconstruction of the bridge which spans the tracks. This gateway now has elevators, allowing passengers with reduced mobility to travel more easily and more easily.
