GARE DE LYON
More than a transit area, the Gare de Lyon district boasts a rich architectural heritage and trendy addresses shared by workers and families.
Built in 1900 as part of the Universal Exhibition, famous for its belfry otherwise known as the clock tower, the Gare de Lyon is the epicenter of this district with its great architectural diversity.
There are indeed opulent buildings in the Haussmann style, office buildings barely out of the ground, facilities from the 80s and 90s, including working-class housing estates from the beginning of the 20th century. Crossed by the Coulée Verte built on the old railway line of the Vincennes train, it is a refreshing walk in the middle of the roofs of the city. Under the arches of the viaduct, craftsmen and artists share the vaults to express their talents.
Finally, not far from the Gare de Lyon is also rue Crémieux, recognizable by its cute little colorful houses that delight Instagrammers…
