Saint Charles Station
Description:
Near the St. Charles station, anyone who has visited the port of Odessa will feel a distant resemblance to it. And in Marseille there is a wide staircase that takes the pedestrian from the station to the Athenian Boulevard. It was built in 1926 and is decorated with beautiful sculptures of bronze and marble. It is also equipped with several platforms, from which the whole city is visible as in the palm of your hand.
The station itself, which now includes railway and bus stations, was built in Marseille in 1848 by the engineer Deplace, and most recently, in 2001-2004, underwent a complete reconstruction.
Saint-Charles is considered the largest station in Marseille. Judge for yourself - passenger traffic for seven years (from 2000 to 2007) has more than doubled - from 7 million. 15 million people, made possible by the TGV train. They literally fly to Paris, spending only 3 hours on the road. There are 16 platforms at the station, and each of them can be easily reached by the passenger bridge.
Right in the station building there is an exit to the subway. Naturally, the most comfortable conditions of stay at the station are created for passengers - there are several waiting rooms and many cafes and souvenir shops.
