Gare de Bobigny

Gare de Bobigny is a railway station in Bobigny featuring a passenger building from 1929 with preserved architectural details from the early 20th century rail construction era. The station sits on four main tracks plus service lines and today stands as a protected historical monument.

Gare de Bobigny was built in 1929 and later served as a departure point for deportation transports during World War II. Between 1943 and 1944, twenty-one convoys departed from the station bound for concentration camps.

The station building serves as an educational center with exhibits about transportation history and the deportations that occurred during World War II.

Gare de Bobigny is closed to the public and can only be viewed from outside. Visitors can see the historic building facade and access the site from surrounding streets around the grounds.

The station building received dual designation in 2005 as both a protected historical monument and a significant 20th-century heritage site by the French government. This recognition underscores its importance for understanding the era.
