Gare de Denfert-Rochereau

Denfert-Rochereau station is a railway hub in the 14th arrondissement of Paris with architecture from the 19th century still standing. The building displays traditional French railway design through its façade and structural elements.

The station opened in 1846 under a different name and was part of the early railway expansion in Paris. It underwent structural changes in the following decades as the rail network expanded and evolved.

The station serves as a meeting point for daily commuters passing through this part of Paris, connecting people from different neighborhoods. Its role in local life shows how rail transport shaped how the city and its residents move.

The station connects metro lines 4 and 6, RER line B, and bus services to Orly Airport in one location. Getting around the transportation options inside or near the station is straightforward for travelers.

Part of the original building was removed in the 1880s to make room for railway tracks extending toward Luxembourg station. This change left the station with an uneven appearance that visitors can still notice today.
