From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Rochelle ([la ʁɔʃɛl] ⓘ; French: Gare de La Rochelle), formally La Rochelle-Ville (lit. 'La Rochelle-City'; [la ʁɔʃɛl vil]), is the main railway station of La Rochelle, France. The station building, which includes a 45-metre-tall clock tower and a large mosaic in its hall, was built in 1910–1922 by Pierre Esquié for the CF de l'État replacing the older building.[1] The station was renovated by Franck Beck and Luc Mouret in the early 1990s for the arrival of the TGV Atlantique.
La Rochelle is linked to Poitiers, Tours, Bordeaux and Paris as well as regional (TER) services to other towns in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, such as Angoulême and Niort. There are both TGV and TER rail services serving La Rochelle station.
