À propos du lieu

Gare SNCF

Avenue de Paris 6 rue Saint-Yves 45000 Orléans

Loiret
Centre-Val de Loire

When the railway arrived in 1843, Orléans had only a simple pier. Destroyed in 1902, the building was replaced by a real station, which itself was badly damaged during the Second World War. The old station disappeared in 1965 in favour of a station designed by the architect J.-B. Hourlier. A building welcoming the buffet gives Rue Saint-Yves. The hall opens Place Albert-I. At the same time, a first phase of construction is undertaken on the open spaces. In the 1980s, the construction of the Place d'Arc shopping centre, bus station and car parks completed the urbanization of the area. The façade of the station was then hidden by the new complex. In 2003, work began on the construction of the new station. Designed by architect J.-M. Duthilleul, the passenger hall, inaugurated in January 2008, is surmounted by a wave-shaped glass roof. Its facade opens onto Avenue de Paris. Reception offices, a waiting room and a more modern display are available to travellers.
