Built in 1855, the Gare de Lyon (Lyon Station) was almost completely burned down in a fire during the Paris Commune in 1871 before it was rebuilt exactly as it was. For the 1900 Exposition Universelle, also known as the 1900 Paris Exposition, the station was completely replanned by an architect from Toulon, Marius Toudoire. The new building, along with its super facade, was inaugurated in 1901.

Le Train Bleu, a historical place, was inaugurated in 1901. It was ranked as a historic monument in 1972 by André Malraux. It was renovated in 2014 with new decor that mixes the Belle Epoque style with more contemporary furnishings.
