Gare des Brotteaux, Railway station in 6th arrondissement, Lyon, France.
The Gare des Brotteaux features stone facades adorned with plant motifs, crests, and mosaics, complemented by large windows and a central hall.
The station operated from 1908 until 1983, when railway services transferred to the new Gare de la Part-Dieu to accommodate growing transportation needs.
The building now houses an auction house, restaurant, and architectural offices, maintaining its role as a central point for commerce and gatherings.
Located at 173 meters elevation, the former station stands near multiple public transportation options and dining establishments in the Brotteaux district.
The station's architectural elements mirror those of Paris's Gare d'Orsay, both designed during the same period with similar structural approaches.
