Peter Engelsted Jonasen took this photo, which shows the
back of the Gare du Nord with tracks, platforms, and trains. (Railfans
can view the action from the elevated Boulevard de la Chapelle to the north of
the station.)
Stefan Ataman's picture shows the clock and statuary on the Gare
du Nord's main façade.
A photographer who calls himself "Dutchy" made this image of
reflections in a train's windows behind the Gare du Nord.
Alex Klochkov's photo (which we featured as a thumbnail on
page 1 of this article) offers a close-up view of
three statues on the Gare du Nord's façade. See Wikipedia's
history of the
Gare du Nord for descriptions of the station's 20 sculptures.
The interior of the Gare du Nord is a bustling place. Here, you
can see the main station hall and the electronic departures signboard.
On chilly winter days, passengers gather around electric heaters
near the platforms.
