Gare de la Part-Dieu (English: Part-Dieu railway station) is the primary railway station in Lyon, France.
The station was constructed in 1978 as part of the new Part-Dieu urban neighbourhood project. As the planners intended Part-Dieu to act as a second city centre for Lyon, the large train station was built in conjunction with a shopping centre (the largest in France outside of Île-de-France), a major government office complex, and the tallest skyscraper in the region, nicknamed Le Crayon (The Pencil) due to its shape.
Prior to the construction of the Gare de la Part-Dieu, the neighbourhood was served by Brotteaux railway station. It closed in 1982 and its operations were absorbed into this station.
While Part-Dieu is routinely the busiest, four other stations operate in metro Lyon: Perrache (in the city-center), Lyon-Vaise, Saint-Paul, and Gorge de Loup.
Part-Dieu is a significant railway hub, connected to the French (SNCF) and international rail networks. From the many lines that run through Lyon, Part-Dieu is directly connected to Paris, Marseille, Valence, Saint-Étienne, Nice, Perpignan, Rouen, Roissy, Lille, Brussels, Geneva, Metz, Strasbourg, Tarbes, Bayonne, Nantes, Grenoble and Bordeaux.
The station is served by France's high-speed rail service, TGV, in addition to regional TER trains.
