Today I visit Paris and one of the best things to do in Paris is walk around in Paris-Montparnasse Train Station and get out to the Atlantic Garden, a secret exit in the train station.
Gare Montparnasse, officially Paris-Montparnasse, one of the six large Paris railway termini, is located in the 14th and 15th arrondissements.
The station opened in 1840, was rebuilt in 1852 and relocated in 1969 to a new station just south of the original location - where subsequently the prominent Montparnasse Tower was constructed. It is a central element to the Montparnasse area. The original station is noted for the Montparnasse derailment, where a steam train crashed through the station in 1895, an event captured in widely known photographs - and reproduced in full scale in several locations.
The station serves intercity TGV trains to the west and southwest of France including Tours, Bordeaux, Rennes and Nantes, and suburban and regional services on the Transilien Paris - Montparnasse routes. There is also a metro station. Gare Montparnasse is the only mainline terminus in Paris not directly connected to the RER system, though the Montparnasse main line is connected to the RER at Versailles-Chantiers and the LGV Atlantique at Massy Palaiseau.
From Paris Montparnasse train services depart to major French cities such as: Le Mans, Rennes, Saint-Brieuc, Brest, Saint-Malo, Vannes, Lorient, Quimper, Angers, Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, Tours, Poitiers, La Rochelle, Angoulême, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Bayonne and Granville. The station is also served by suburban trains heading to the west and south-west of Paris.
The station itself is fun to visit; in the main hall, are installed large Op art murals by the painter Victor Vasarely, while the Atlantic garden is located on a slab above the tracks.
a few bakeries and macaron shops like Pierre Hermé Macaron shop, you can see at 9:10
Until 2019, it housed a museum complex on the Resistance, consisting of the Museum of General Leclerc de Hauteclocque and the Liberation of Paris - Jean-Moulin Museum, a double museum dedicated to these two personalities; this museum was moved in 2019 to be reinstalled in a building on place Denfert-Rochereau.
Near the station you can see:
to the east: the Montparnasse district and its places of leisure (cinemas, theaters, etc.);
to the northwest: the La Poste museum, at 34 boulevard de Vaugirard;
to the northeast: the Montparnasse tower, whose terrace and 56th floor, the only spaces open to the public, allow you to observe a panorama of Paris.
