You can park your car in the local streets but driving in Paris is often difficult.

This station can be reached by train, but it is better to use the Metro, from Garé du Nord or by walking from Garé du Lyon.

'Pay as you go' toilets at the station, and some food and drink shops. But there are plenty of alternatives places outside the station.

Because there is a great glass roof over the station, photos can be taking almost all of the day.
The nigth trains leave in the evening, so look at the departing time if you want to take pictures in the evening and let the station staff know if you plan to use a tripod.
