Gare de Vanves-Malakoff, Railway station in Vanves, France.
Gare de Vanves-Malakoff is a railway station serving the Paris-Montparnasse to Brest line, with two side platforms and one central platform handling four tracks. The 1934 passenger building remains in active daily use and reflects the structural design typical of its period.
The station opened on October 1, 1883, as part of the railway expansion linking Paris-Montparnasse with outlying areas following earlier connections established in 1840. It became part of the region's growing network connecting the capital to nearby communities.
The passenger building reflects architect Jean Philippot's design approach, showcasing the straightforward, functional style of early 20th-century French railway architecture and how it served daily commuters.
The station offers regular train services to surrounding areas and connects with local bus lines for onward travel. Access is straightforward and navigation is simple due to the station's modest size and clear layout.
In March 2018, the station became the first location on a French heavy rail line to install vertical-opening platform doors, a new safety innovation. This modernization update distinguished it as a pioneer for such technology in the country.
