Gare de Vittel, Railway station and historic monument in Vittel, France.
Gare de Vittel is a heritage-listed railway station in a spa town in the French Vosges mountains. The historic building sits at 1,128 feet (344 meters) elevation and remains in partial operation with connections eastward.
The current passenger building was constructed in 1926 to plans by engineer M. Burnaut, replacing an earlier standard "Est" type station. Its facades, roofs, canopy and interior hall were inscribed on the supplementary inventory of monuments historiques on 22 November 1990. The original building had a central three-opening body under a two-slope roof flanked by two low four-bay wings, with a three-bay extension later added on the left.
Part of the passenger building houses Vittel's tourist office, marked by a white panel beside the SNCF sign at the entrance. The station also gave its name to a TGV Sud-Est trainset, christened "Vittel" on 23 June 1990. Since April 2019 the Paris–Vittel link has revived the "train des Eaux", suppressed in 2002.
The station remains in partial operation with train services to nearby destinations. Visitors should check schedules in advance as frequencies vary depending on the day of the week.
A support building houses offices for Captrain France's freight operations at the site. This working element reveals that the location still functions as a logistics point today.
