Gare du Nord

The Gare du Nord (pronounced [ɡaʁ dy nɔːʁ]; English: North Station), officially Paris-Nord, is one of the seven large mainline railway station termini in Paris, France, and Europe's busiest railway station. Gare du Nord is the Paris terminal station of the Eurostar network and serves international destinations in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom as well as northern France and the northern outskirts of Paris. Located in the northern part of Paris together with nearby Gare de l'Est in the 10th arrondissement, the Gare du Nord offers connections with several urban transport lines, including Paris Métro, RER and RATP buses. The current building was constructed between 1861 and 1864 on a design by architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff, on behalf of the Chemin de Fer du Nord company which was headquartered on an adjacent site. It replaced an earlier and smaller terminal which was operational between 1846 and 1860, some of which was reassembled as Lille-Flandres station.
