Nantes station (French:Gare de Nantes) is the principal passengerrailway station serving theFrench city ofNantes. It is a through station aligned east–west, with entrances and station facilities on both north and south sides. The two entrances are often described asGare Nord andGare Sud, as if they were separate stations, but they are in fact linked to each other and to all the platforms by a pedestrian subway. In 2020, after 3 years of work, a new pedestrian aerial way has been built over the railways to facilitate the passengers flow.
Construction was started on the current station in 1965, and it was placed into service three years later. It is situated somewhat to the east of the oldGare d'Orléans, originally the Nantes station of theChemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans, which it replaced. The southern entrance hall was opened in 1989, in time for the inauguration of theTGV Atlantique. For years, major changes have extended the station capacity to ease the users journeys. The first major step was done in 2020 with the addition of the new aerial way, part of a more global transformation project which should end in 2025, with a complete restructuration of the station area.
Line 1 of theTramway de Nantes serves the northern hall of the station. The southern hall is served by several of the bus services of theTan network, including theNavette Tan Air express shuttle service toNantes Atlantique Airport.[1] All platforms at train station Nantes have elevators and escalators to help people with limited mobility.
