Lens station of Art Deco style inaugurated in 1927 with a clock tower and mosaics of Auguste Labouret, guided tour proposed.

Inaugurated in 1927, the station, whose shape evokes a locomotive, is resolutely anchored in the Art Deco style of the time, like many buildings in the city that were heavily destroyed after the First World War.

The clock tower represents the chimney and the entrance canopies the wheels. Its eleven independent modules, made of reinforced concrete, rest on hydraulic jacks to prevent mining subsidence. Inside, travelers can admire mosaics by Auguste Labouret. The tourist office offers tours with a guide, ask for information.

Attente culturelle
A la descente du TGV l accès au hall de la gare est une très agréable surprise tant par son plafond arrondi que par les mosaïques très soviétiques des années 30. De plus à l extérieur sa tour horloge ajourée est comme un campanile d une église italienne.

La gare de Lens en forme de ...
Locomotive ! Sa forme est vraiment originale. La gare est très jolie, on retrouve aussi des fresques à l'intérieur. Il s'agit d'une des plus jolies gares que j'ai pu voir

Gare propre. Elle est bien reliée aux autres transports en commun. Elle permet un accès facile aux points névralgiques de la ville.

Cette construction en béton avec sa tour horloge est très originale par son aspect modulaire qui permet de s adapter aux mouvements des terrains miniers et par sa forme de locomotive.
Dommage que l aménagement intérieur art déco a été enlevé à l'exception de la magnifique décoration murale. Grande originalité
