LES GARES
Located in the 10th arrondissement, the Les Gares district has established itself as a real meeting point for Parisians.
Regarded as the most frequented European railway station, the Gare du Nord welcomes thousands of travellers every day from England, the Netherlands and Belgium. Built in 1861 by the architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff, the building is recognisable by its modern neo-classical style and its majestic façade decorated with statues. Not far from it is the Gare de l’Est, just as central as its sister station. The oldest station in Paris, it bears the imprint of a rich historical past and serves, as its name suggests, the far east of Europe. A real invitation to travel, this district is home to “Little India”, the Indian heart of the capital. It’s an inviting place to wander through the smells of spices and the bright colours of fabrics. This little Mumbay, populated with restaurants and atypical places, takes us to the crossroads of cultures.
A hub of national and international exchange, this district benefits greatly from the attractiveness of its two train stations and is home to numerous shops, boutiques and restaurants for the enjoyment of its inhabitants and travellers alike.
