Nice-Ville.
'Gare de Nice' or ''Nice-Ville'' is the main
railway station in
Nice,
France.
The station was completed in 1867 for
CF du PLM and by architect
Louis Bouchot in Louis XIII style.
Nice-Ville was built away from the centre although
Nice has now extended around the station. The station has been remodelled several times but always kept its original style of
Arles stone sculptures and forged steel rooftop. The passenger hall is richly decorated and shadowed by balconies and a big clock but has sadly lost its grand chandeliers.
It has remained in its original condition since its opening although modern equipment has been installed to welcome the arrival of the
TGV Sud-Est. Before the arrival of the
TGV, the station was host to several other prestigious express trains:
Pullman Côte-Azur Express, the
Train Bleu and the
Mistral.
