The station and its glass roof
With the arrival of the TGV Est in June 2007, the Strasbourg station had become too small.
It was therefore renovated and inaugurated on 5 November 2007. The original station, built in 1883, has been preserved but enlarged thanks to a huge glass roof, the work of the architect Jean-Marie Duthilleul, awarded with a Brunel Award in 2008. At night, it disappears to reveal the original pink sandstone façade.
