Gare de Lyon (French pronunciation: [ɡaʁ də ljɔ̃]) is a station on lines 1 and 14 of the Paris Métro.
From 1 August 1906 the northern terminus of Line 5 was temporarily located at the spare platforms, requiring a reversal at Quai de la Rapée.
[3] The route of the closed line and the spare platforms at Gare de Lyon were used as part of a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) gauge railway, known as the Voie des Finances, operated by the Ministry of Finance to move currency from 1937 to 1957.
Between the eastbound lane from Olympiades and the RATP headquarters is an exotic garden.
The STIF board of directors decided on 27 May 2009 to provide funding in 2010 for a third access in the middle of the platform to facilitate movement within the busy and relatively narrow station.
