Paris Austerlitz (
Austerlitz Station) is one of the six large terminus
railway stations in
Paris. It is situated on the left bank of the
Seine in the southeastern part of the city, in the
13th arrondissement. It is the start of the
Paris–Bordeaux railway; the line to
Toulouse is connected to this line. Since the introduction of the
TGV Atlantique — using
Gare Montparnasse — Austerlitz has lost most of its long-distance southwestern services. It is used by some 30 million passengers annually, about half the number passing through Montparnasse.
