A temporary place to go sunbathing on the coast, the Gare de Lyon is also a den of shops for pressés or disaffected travelers.

Inside, nothing looks more like a Fnac than another Fnac: anthracite carpeting, low ceilings, well-ordered shelves defined by category: books, DVDs, high-tech, stationery, and even small household appliances, ticket sales... As in all Fnacs, meetings with authors and musicians are regularly organised
