History of Montparnasse train station and its surroundings

The station of Montparnasse has seen 5 major changes of site since its creation in 1840. In 1837, La Compagnie de Chemin de Fer de Paris, Sèvres, Meudon et Versailles is in charge with the operation of the railroad from Paris to Versailles. The purpose of this operation was to extend the railway network in Ile-de-France region. The company, facing an increasingly intense traffic, must call on the state to carry out extension works. As a result of this project, a new station was opened on Boulevard du Montparnasse. The viaduct of Maine is one of those responsible for extending this station. Realized by the engineer Alphonse Baude, this work required the demolition of the passenger buildings. The new buildings of the station are designed in neoclassical style, with the help of the architect Victor Lenoir and the engineer Alphonse Baude. This work will require several land fillings. This station will remain in service until the 1960s. In the meantime, the period between the two wars will be beneficial for the station, which will benefit from the growth of the railway companies and the extension of the tracks during a new phase of expansion. Thus, from 1923, the station of Maine departures is arranged to accommodate the main lines while the suburban trains leave the old station. The annexes Maine arrivals and Maine departures will be chosen to accommodate the new station built by the SNCF. This choice will be the result of a new urban development project that will see the construction of the Montparnasse tower at the site of the former station. 10 years after its entry into service, the station was welcoming 1,400,000 passengers, 80% of them on trips from the Paris suburbs.

In the 1960s, the station was the object of urban development projects, including modifications to the tower of Montparnasse and the surrounding buildings. This new station will be part of a complex of offices and housing, signed by architects Baudoin, Cassan de Marien, Lopez, Saubot. This station no longer has the features of a station, consecutively to the total overhaul of the interior space with in particular an internal architecture in concrete and a slab covering a large part of the tracks. The station will again be subject to renovations in 1989, in order to accommodate the TGV. Inaugurated in 1990 on the occasion of the commissioning of the TGV Atlantique, the new interior of the station will be distinguished by a modernist architecture, a glass facade that allows to recognize the station has its style. The parking lot is located under the Atlantic Garden. On 29 June 2004, Montparnasse station received the NF service certification, awarded by Afnor.
