Gare de Paris-Nord, Railway station in the 10th arrondissement, France.
The Paris North Station spans multiple levels with four distinct halls serving international, national, regional, and suburban train connections across Europe.
The original 1846 station building was transferred to Lille due to capacity limitations, leading to construction of the current structure between 1861 and 1864.
The station facade features 23 monumental statues representing international destinations, with the central figure symbolizing Paris surrounded by other French cities.
Passengers access Eurostar services to London through Hall 2, while domestic French rail services depart from Hall 1, and suburban trains use Halls 3 and 4.
The station processes 700,000 travelers daily, making it the most frequented railway station in Europe and the largest international rail hub outside Japan.
