Frescoes Gallery (Salle des Fresques)

The restoration of the Frescoes Gallery, an outstanding heritage site listed as a historic monument, has been broken down into several phases overlapping one another in order to meet operational constraints and the need to keep this large Parisian station running: restoration of the frescoes, restoration of the glass roofs, installation of water mist fire proection devices, egg chairs in the Frequent Travellers lounge, Fresco 3 works. The aim of the project was to improve the functional and spatial legibility of the public space and create a new retail offer and new services.

Small passenger hall

Built in 1898, the small passenger hall occupies an intermediate position between the transversal platform and the station’s iconic restaurant "Le Train Bleu" station — a jewel  of the building inaugurated in 1901 and renovated in 2014. The renovation work included refurbishment of the glass canopy, steel structure and interior facades of the building,  as well as restoring the metal frames, rainwater collection systems and joinery to their historic appearance.

Cour Chalon

The Chalon project, undertaken after the restoration of the clock tower in 2015, constitutes the first arge-scale restoration of the station's façades. The aim was to ensure the longevity  of the facades and roofs of the historic monument and  to enhance the station's heritage features by creating retail units under the frescoes.
