Sections

The station is located north of the famous Place du Tirailleur. It has a U-shaped plan with an overall central volume that connects the two wings, which are higher and divided into three levels. The extension, with its contemporary architecture, is a continuation of the old station. It creates a link between the former historical building and the train access.
