For the Journées du Patrimoine in Paris, the Gare de Lyon invites you to explore the secrets of the Horloge Tower for this exceptional weekend of September 16 and 17, 2023.

The Gare de Lyon invites you to discover its treasures during the Journées du Patrimoine 2023 in Paris. This weekend, from September 16 to 17, 2023, we're taking the opportunity to visit this listed station and the emblematic sites it contains. It's a great opportunity for railway enthusiasts and heritage lovers alike to discover the inner workings of thisarchitecturally sublime site.

What would the Gare de Lyon be without its famous clock, which dominates the 12th arrondissement of Paris and keeps watch over travellers? This famous belfry reaches a height of 67 metres, enough to make some people dizzy. Another gargantuan figure: the clock's frames are no less than 6.5 metres in diameter! There's no way this station can go unnoticed by travellers to and from the south-east of France.

Gare de Lyon is also famous for its Train Bleu. Formerly known as the Buffet de la Gare, this listed restaurant has been delighting customers and visitors ever since its creation in 1901. Even today, it plunges us into the heart of Belle Époque Paris. Why not make a stopover during this exceptional weekend?
