(Last Update: 04.03.2024) While I still cannot understand that a city as small as Paris in terms of surface area has a total of seven main train stations, one for vehicles and six for passengers, in this article, another station, Gare de LyonI want to talk about.
Firstly Gare de Lyon, which started operating in 1849 (gar de lion or fuck cum lion) to its present form 1900 In the year, the famous “International Fair” period and since then Trains departing southeast of Paris It was the first and last point of departure.
Lyon station, Fontainebleau Castle shield towards commuter trains; with paris Lyon, Dijon, Besançon, Marseille, Nice connecting French cities such as intercity trains ve Luxembourg, Geneva, Zurich, Lausanne, Milano, Venice comic International high-speed trains (TGV) to European cities It hosts a total annual passenger circulation of more than 80 million.

When only intercity and international trains are taken into account, It has the title of the second busiest station in Paris with its annual capacity of more than 30 million.. Why wouldn't you be one of those passengers?
12. boroughThe station building located in, especially with its magnificent clock tower It has a very impressive appearance. Gare Saint-Lazare The station front and surroundings are quite pleasant; Gare du Nord ve East Railway Station Thank goodness it doesn't have such an eerie atmosphere.
I think Gare Saint-LazareThis is the station I use most frequently after . It is a place that I have fond memories of, in terms of my previous trips to Marseille and Lyon, and the place where I welcomed and sent off my friend Arzu, who came from Geneva, and my friend Meral, who came from Stuttgart. I really like the greetings here, but I don't like the farewells. But okay, let there be farewells so there can be reunions, right?
The interior of the station building is as magnificent as its exterior. Especially the large clock tower on the right side adds the main characteristic atmosphere to the station building. The square in front of the station is quite lively. The eating and drinking places opposite the station are also very tasty.
In the Gare, there are many cafes and restaurants, as well as boutiques and stores that offer shopping opportunities. Regarding food and beverage, I would like to tell you about a very special place: Le Train Bleu Restaurant… It is possible to make an unforgettable memory here - in a slightly exaggerated elegance - by traveling back a hundred years and having a special meal. Check it out, you won't regret it...
Gare de Lyon is a very large station with 22 platforms., on the main floor serves in two halls; Therefore, if you need to take a train from here, I would like to remind you that there is a hall the size you see in the photo above in the other hall; Then you may realize it at the last minute and have to rush to the train, like us :)
A third hall is also located on the lower floor, but the platforms on this floor are RERIt is reserved for . RER A ve RER D trains also pass under Gare de Lyon. Also M1 and M14 metro lines also have this garda station. Meanwhile I would also like to underline that the M1 line has been passing under this station since 1900....
As I said there are 22 platforms, I want you to picture Haydarpaşa Train Station to understand the size of the station. Haydarpaşa Train Station is a great station, isn't it? Haydarpaşa Train Station used to have 10 platforms, you can think about the rest.
Like other stations in Paris, Gare de Lyon also provides free Wi-Fi service. You can also leave your big suitcases safety luggage service also available.
In terms of accommodation, this region is especially RER A and Ligne 1 lines, so it is in a recommendable location. Seine River I can say that it is also advantageous in terms of being on the coast. Right next to Gare de Bercy, Gare d'AusterlitzSince it is across from , it may be an ideal location if you need to transfer to these stations. You know my book A Week in ParisOne of the stories in was about a family staying in this area. That's why I love this station especially.
Nationto and Bastillecloseness to, Jardin des Plantes ve Promenade Plantée – Coulée Verte Its distance to parks and hiking trails is also ideal. If you are traveling or staying in this area, you can visit one of the colorful streets of Paris. Rue CrémieuxI recommend you also see.
I hope that in the near future you will have the chance to hop on a train from this station and travel to the most beautiful cities of France or Europe, or you can stay near Gare de Lyon and have a pleasant time thanks to the easy access to every point of Paris.
By the way, personally, I The west side of Paris is more ideal for accommodation I cannot help but say what I think, but I can say that this region is one of the places that can be preferred when there is a suitable accommodation option.

First of all, thank you for your information. I follow both your Instagram page, your channel and your articles. I have a trip to Paris in November. We were worried because it was our first time traveling individually in a big city. We learned a lot of things thanks to you. Especially your navigo card video seems to make our job much easier. We thank you.
We are planning to go to Lyon for a day by train called Trenitalia. We bought our ticket online. Do we need to validate a transaction when we arrive at the station? Or can we get on and go with the online train ticket we have? I couldn't find clear information anywhere.
Hello, first of all, thank you very much.
You do not need to take any action before arriving at the station. There are turnstiles at the entrance of some platforms, you pass by scanning your QR code, which is the busiest practice these days. Sometimes there are officers at the platform and they do the reading process. Sometimes there is a ticket check when you get on the train. So you don't need to do anything special, just be on the platform on time.
Have a nice holiday in advance.
We also have two beautiful stations. It would be great if there was a museum in Sirkeci or Haydarpaşa, like Orsay. It's a dream...
