Private shuttle service from Orly airport to Austerlitz train station

History of Gare d’Austerlitz

Gare d’Austerlitz, one of the six large terminus railway stations in Paris, holds a significant place in the city’s transportation history. Officially opened in 1840, it was originally called Gare d’Orléans, serving as the main terminus for the Paris-Orléans railway. The station’s current name, derived from Napoleon’s victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, was adopted in 1930. The architecture of Gare d’Austerlitz is noted for its stone facade and large glass roof, a hallmark of its era, designed by Pierre-Louis Renaud.

Over the years, Gare d’Austerlitz has been a focal point for Parisian transport, particularly serving routes to central France. The station underwent extensive renovations in the late 20th century to accommodate high-speed services, yet retains much of its original grandeur. Its strategic location along the Seine makes it a convenient starting point for exploring nearby attractions.
