Gare du Nord

The Gare du Nord, officially Paris-Nord, is one of six large mainline railway station termini in Paris, France. In 2015, it was the busiest railway station in Europe by total passenger numbers, with more than 700,000 passengers alighting or disembarking per day. The current Gare du Nord was designed by French architect Jacques Ignace Hittorff and constructed between 1861 and 1865, replacing an earlier and much smaller terminal that was operational between 1846 and 1860. This interior view of the station's main hall was captured from the balcony level.
