How about discovering Saint-Lazare? This neighborhood, known today for its bustling train station, has many fascinating stories! Did you know that it was once the site of a hospital and convent, frequented by the most destitute and run by Vincent de Paul? In 1837, with the construction of the first railroad line linking Paris to Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the area underwent radical change. The Gare Saint-Lazare was built and inaugurated in 1837, marking the beginning of the area's transformation into a major transportation and commercial center. As you explore the surrounding area, I'll show you how Saint-Lazare evolved.
