About the location

Gare de Pontivy

Gare, Place Alfred Brard 56300 Pontivy

Morbihan
Bretagne

The station of Pontivy, in the Breton railway history, retains a place of its own and poses, by the singularity of its genesis, the sensitive question of the geographical opening up of Brittany. An intermediate stage on the Saint-Brieuc / Auray median axis, a “frontier” station between the Compagnie d'Orléans and the Réseau de l'Ouest, its facilities have been adapted to the functions of this establishment, which was born under the name of Napoléonville. The building, consisting of a central pavilion with 5 opening bays and flanked by 2 low wings, consists of a second-class station of the Compagnie d'Orléans. It is built of rubble masonry with granite bedrock. An aesthetic effect, desired by the company’s architects, is sought by an alternation of red (brick) and white (tuffeau) horizontal bands.
