A Walk Around Gare d'Austerlitz (Train Station), Paris
The Gare d'Austerlitz (Austerlitz Station), officially Paris-Austerlitz, is one of the six large terminus railway stations in Paris. It is situated on the left bank of the Seine in the southeastern part of the city, in the 13th arrondissement. It is the start of the Paris-Bordeaux railway; the line to Toulouse is connected to this line. Since the introduction of the TGV Atlantique - using Gare Montparnasse - Austerlitz has lost most of its long-distance southwestern services. It is used by some 30 million passengers annually, about half the number passing through Montparnasse.
The Elipsos Train Hotels (Trenhotel) operated jointly between RENFE and SNCF operated from here to Madrid and Barcelona. They would leave in the early evening and arrive next morning. With the start of a direct TGV from Paris to Barcelona, on 15 December 2013, the Trenhotel services finished.
History
The Gare d'Austerlitz was built in 1840 in order to serve first the Paris-Corbeil then the Paris-Orleans line. The station was originally called the Gare d'Orléans. An 1865-1868 extension was designed by architect Pierre-Louis Renaud.
The station takes its name from the Czech town once known as Austerlitz (today Slavkov u Brna). Napoleon I defeated the superior numbers of the Third Coalition on 2 December 1805 there in the Battle of Austerlitz.

Super ces ambiances de gare. C'est chouette à regarder et à écouter tous les bruits de la gare. Pascal Nemecek fan de train depuis Paris 😋😋
Very nice and new i have been to this station in 2011, very happy to see the new face of this station.
Nice video, thanks. My wife and I will be visiting Austerlitz in a few weeks to board our train to wine country (Cahors), and your work helps me get a feel for the scale (size) of the facility and its amenities. I hear there is a Monop’ in the neighborhood, so I can pick up something to take on the train for dinner, which is nice. Can anyone recommend a decent bistro for lunch within a block or two of the station? Probably not looking to cross the river on foot, as my wife is less mobile than she wishes.

I was hoping to see how to get from RER C (from Saint Michel) to Gare D'Austerlitz train station. Is it difficult, are there many stairs?

Bob Jackson , Hello, the first two shots are of the RER from St. Michel. There is an elevator to get you up stairs.
