Paris Gare du Nord Station

Truth be told, the area around the Gare du Nord in Paris isn’t particularly well known as a tourist hotspot or area of great beauty, and it can be a bit dodgy after dark. A cool, thought-provoking site is the “maison fond” beside the station, an art piece of a typical Haussmann building melting into the ground as a comment on global warming. If you like a fright, le Manoir de Paris offers a terrifying haunted house experience in a former ceramic factory. The Musée de Chocolat is a fun and interesting little museum detailing 4,000 years of chocolate history!

Located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris Gare du Nord (or the North Station in English), is one of the six large Parisian train stations. The station serves trains coming from the north and northeast of France, including international trains from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany, as well as Eurostar services coming under the English Channel from London. The first line of the Paris–Lille railway was built in 1846, and the first station was built in 1848. In 1854, the station was expanded with the addition of a second line. In the early 1860s, the station was completely remodeled with the addition of a third line, with the work undertaken by architect Jacques Ignace Hittorf; most of the present station building dates from this time. Over the course of the twentieth century, much remodeling of the station took place to facilitate the addition of new lines and services; work is currently ongoing, with refurbishments planned for the 2024 Summer Olympics. Today, The station is built on two levels, with the main concourse and ticketing area on the upper level and the train platforms on the lower level. The station has a total of 24 platforms, 20 of which are used for passenger trains and 4 of which are used for suburban trains. In the near future, there are plans to install a gym, a putting course, a fitness trail, a tennis course, a putting range, and 7,000 square meters of green space. Refurbishment and expansion of the station have been long-called for; up to 700,000 people pass through the station every day, most people commuting to and from the northern suburbs and Paris city. Gare du Nord is, therefore, the busiest train station in Europe, and after all the planned extensions and refurbishments, it will also be the largest train station in Europe.
