Photographer’s Note

This is the tower of the Gare de Lyon in Paris taken from the Austerlitz bridge. Nice contrast between new and old buildings.
The grahic rendering of the picture was obtained by increasing the saturation up to 90%.
Thanks for watching :o)

Built to replace the old landing stage of Lyon, the present building was built between 1895-1902 by the architect Marius Toudoire. Its construction was undertaken by the PLM (Paris-Lyon-Marseille) Company, and timed with the Universal Exhibition of 1900 in mind.

Recent modernization work allows the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) to serve this station. Departures for southern France, the Alps, Switzerland, Italy and Greece are from here.
