This place is legendary. And I mean it in the worst possible way. All kinds of robbers, scammers and criminals are here 24/7. And that's not a joke. People getting robbed, attacked and harassed all the time. I am personally trying to minimize waiting time at this station to bare minimum. Don't expect much help from others also. Few people speak English and it's too hard and annoying for most to deal with foreigners. Be aware.

Eurostar section has been massively improved. Good choice of very high standard food outlets. New configuration has opened a great deal more space. Much more comfortable. Work not finished but a huge upgrade on only a few months ago.

They really need to improve security here. I almost got robbed as I was waiting to get the tickets-- I was approached by someone who left my backpack open in the attempt to steal from me. I was quick to notice this and leave the area but there was no police or security force was around to report this to.

Beautiful building is being ruined by beggars and the mass camp of refugees close by. Doesn't seem safe. There have been riots close by.

I enjoyed this train station. The information people were very helpful. It's very clean and organized with good signage. There's also fun events going on and bikes u can ride to power your devices. It an get busy and don't make eye contact with scammers.

Huge station, but easy to navigate between platforms. Extra security measures are in place with luggage screening, so arrive early. Not a good station if you have long transit time. No seating areas

Beautiful and busy. If you look carefully, the pillars have intricate old style details on them. With a generous helping of vending machines.

Note: you must constantly monitor the screens to not miss your boarding!

Be very carefully with client hunters for taxi driver, i arrived and being my first time in paris i was approached by a tall white male that make me believe that the only way to my hotel was a taxi and he walked me outside to the driver and I was charged me 85.00 euros. I later found out that it was so easy to take another train for 10 euros to the airport and a free bus to my hotel. These kind of pepple are thieves dressed in suits and they should not be allowed inside the stations, only outside because people believe they are there to help.

This is a great station. Yes, you have to watch out, however, the architecture is great and once you review the arrival/departure screens it's easy to figure out your train.

Got the early on a public holiday. The machine took my euro coins but didn't dispense snack. Otherwise good and clean

If you're into Pokemon Go, there are 2 accessible Pokemon gyms and a couple of Stops as well.
