Gare Saint-Lazare

The Gare Saint-Lazare railway station spans multiple levels with both underground and surface platforms, serving as a major transportation hub in Paris.

The station, designed by architect Eugène Flachat, commenced operations on August 26, 1837, establishing the first rail connection between Paris and Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

Claude Monet created a series of paintings depicting the station in 1877, capturing the industrial development and social changes of nineteenth-century Paris.

The station provides direct rail connections to western Paris suburbs through the Transilien network, with multiple ticket offices and information points throughout the complex.

Located at an elevation of 32 meters above sea level, the station processes over 450,000 passengers daily through its 27 platforms.
