A little history

The first building of the Saint-Lazare station was built in 1837 on the Place de l’Europe for the opening railway Paris-Saint-Germain. Empress Marie-Amelie, wife of Louis Philippe, took part in its opening. It was originally a simple wooden building, which was demolished after just 4 years. Instead, a new station was built on r. de Stockholm, but it turned out to be a temporary building.

For the third time, the Saint-Lazare station was built on its modern site according to the design of the architect E. Flasch in 1842-1853. The station received its fully finished appearance only in 1889. Its reconstruction for the opening of the World Exhibition was carried out according to the design of J. Lichoux.

IN mid-19th V. there were only 14 tracks at the station, but gradually their number was increased to 27. Already in 1924, the first suburban line was electrified, and the process of converting locomotives to electric traction was completed in the 1960s.

Somewhat unexpected was the decision made by the management company SNCF in the spring of 2012 to place a large shopping mall, including 80 shops and about 10 cafes and restaurants. In order to free up space at the station, waiting rooms and storage rooms were eliminated.

Gare Saint-Lazare is one of the six major train stations in Paris, ranking second in Europe in terms of passenger traffic after Gare du Nord and serving 450,000 passengers per day, metro station (164.25 million people per year) and trains of several lines of Normandy.

The first Saint-Lazare station was 200 m northwest of its current location and was called the Embarcadère des Batignolles. Its opening took place on August 24, 1837 in the presence of Marie-Amelie (wife of King Louis-Philippe of France). The first single-track line led from the station to the commune of Saint Germain-en-Laye. By 1843, Gare Saint-Lazare became the terminus of three railway lines (nine by 1900). In 1854, after expansion, the station had 14 platforms. Trains are now operated on 27 platforms, grouped into six groups according to destination. On April 27, 1924, the inner suburban lines were connected to the contact rail at a voltage of 750 V. In the 1960s, the same lines were connected to the overhead current collection at a voltage of 25 kV.

The Gare Saint-Lazare is depicted in many works of art. This building especially attracted impressionist artists, many of whom lived nearby in the 1870s and 1880s.

Two years after moving to this area (house 4, rue de Saint-Pétersbourg), Edouard Monet exhibited his painting “The Railway” (Le Chemin de Fer) at the Paris Salon of 1874. This painting, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., depicts a woman with a small dog and a book, sitting in front of an iron grate, and a girl looking at railroad tracks and locomotive steam. The artist painted this picture in the backyard of a house located on the Rue de Rome. During its first showing, this work became the subject of ridicule and criticism.

Gustave Caillebotte also lived a few steps from the station. In 1876 he painted “The Bridge of Europe” (Le Pont de l'Europe) (now in the Petit Palais Museum in Geneva, Switzerland), and in 1876-80 he painted “On the Bridge of Europe” ( On the Pont de l'Europe (Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth). The first picture shows metal structure bridge, crossing the picture on the right diagonally, to the left of it there are several figures of people. The second painting shows a close-up of the iron bridge in all its industrial geometry, with three men standing to the left of it, looking in different directions (the Pont Europa is a huge bridge with iron bars hanging over the marshalling yard of the recently expanded railway station).

Less famous artists also depicted the Gare Saint-Lazare: Jean Béraud in 1876-78 painted the Place and the Bridge of Europe, and Norbert Goeneutte (1854-1894), who worked in the studio from which it opened a beautiful view of the Bridge of Europe, depicted it in many of his paintings in the late 1880s. One of the paintings, The Pont de l'Europe and Gare Saint-Lazare, dates from about 1888 (now in the Baltimore Museum).

An engraving by Auguste Lamy shows the Place de la Pont de l'Europe at its opening in 1868.

One of the most famous photographs in the world, Derrière la gare de Saint-Lazare, taken in 1932 by Henri Cartier-Bresson, shows the wasteland located behind the station.

In 1998, the Musée D'Orsay and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., organized an exhibition entitled "Manet, Monet, and the Gare Saint-Lazare." ).

Gare Saint-Lazare appears in the novels La Bête humaine by Emile Zola and Terminus St-Lazare by Roland Sadaune.

In addition, this structure can be seen in the 1995 film “French Kiss” with Kevin Kline and Meg Ryan. In the final scene in Paris, Kevin Kline's character, pursued by Inspector Jean-Paul Cardon (Jean Reno), attempts to board a train heading south to Cannes.

We continue to explore Paris. 9th arrondissement of Paris, Gare Saint-Lazare area. Diaries of a trip to Paris

This time, going to Paris, we decided to choose a hotel somewhere in the Opera area, maybe a little closer to Montmartre. The main purpose of the trip was to attend events related to one of the most vibrant autumn French festivals - the Harvest Festival, which takes place annually in mid-October and all events take place in Montmartre. We decided to choose a hotel so that Montmartre and other main Parisian attractions were within walking distance, spent a long time looking through the options and settled on budget option(we needed either a large triple room or two separate rooms) accommodation at the Hotel De Dieppe, because the choice of available rooms at reasonable prices was very limited. To be honest, the hotel is so-so, suitable for those who care about their travel budget: the rooms are small, but clean. The stairs are narrow and steep, but the staff is cool :) But the hotel has one big plus - location! Directly opposite the hotel is the Saint-Lazare train station (absolutely calm in the evening), so there is a large transport hub: RER trains and metro - you can get to anywhere in Paris (metro 50 meters away). The area is full of cafes and restaurants, only 200 meters from an excellent large grocery store and the most famous Parisian department stores.

Well, now some photos of the surrounding area. Place Saint-Lazare: the main attraction is a cool stele made from a clock

There are several Starbucks, Hippopotamus, a couple of pizzerias around, and there are countless French cafes. Sometimes young people in the square organize various flash mobs, here is a short video:

All streets in this area bear the names of cities. We lived on Rue d'Amsterdam. It doesn't look much like Amsterdam, except for the presence of a couple of elderly prostitutes in the alley behind the hotel :)

Near Budapest Square with a small cozy park

In general, the surrounding area is not particularly remarkable... In the morning at 6-7 o'clock in the narrow adjacent streets there are quite a lot of homeless people (although there are plenty of them all over Paris, even in the center) and there is a persistent smell of ammonia everywhere. By 8 o'clock the homeless people have disappeared, the streets have already been cleaned and nowhere stinks. And there is nothing for a tourist to do on the street before 9 o’clock in the morning; anyway, nothing is open yet, except that the eateries open early...

On the streets, pedestrians, cars, buses and the ubiquitous scooters. The usual Parisian bustle. But if you look into the courtyard...

Peace and grace...

This is such a neighborhood - not enough romance, but it’s convenient. In the same building as our hotel there is the Grand Hotel du Havre, if proximity to the metro, a normal hall and fairly comfortable rooms are important to you, then I advise you to take a closer look at this hotel. If the distance of 200-250 meters to the metro is not important, pay attention to the Villathena Hotel, the hotel has very good reviews and the prices are quite affordable.

Paris – Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Later it was rebuilt several times. The station acquired its modern appearance in 1889 thanks to the architect Just Lish.

Before entering Saint Lazare station there is a monument-“accumulation” by Armand Pierre Fernandez “Time for everyone.” The frozen hands on the clock do not control the train schedule - it is a symbol of the eternity and fleetingness of existence. On the square in front of the station there is another Arman monument, “Eternal Luggage Storage” - a mountain of folded suitcases, a symbol of the nomadic world, continuous movement, passion for travel and adventures of those whose only asset is a suitcase, their only home is the station.

From Saint Lazare Station you can travel to Normandy. If you go on vacation through Paris, then you will certainly come here and will be able to appreciate the beauty of this place and its grandeur.

Anyone who uses commuter trains in Paris will certainly get acquainted with Saint Lazare station, representing a complex transport hub. After all, at least eight metro lines converge on it. You can walk through tunnels and passages all the way to Galleries Lafayette without rising to the surface. And this is several kilometers away. There are no lockers inside the station; the ticket offices are located in the right wing when viewed from the entrance. Nearby is the famous Church of Saint-Augustin, which you can explore while waiting for the train. There are several excellent hotels near the station, and the square is lined with cafes and eateries.
