Are stations really places for shopping, eating out or picking out a present? Of course they are! One of the priorities of Gares & Connexions is to bring stations to life in the heart of their towns and cities, for passengers and locals, for passers-by and tourists.

We manage the audio environment, the temperature and lighting to create a comfortable place for you to stop and read, do a spot of shopping, meet someone, enjoy a meal, or sit back and daydream.

Shopping areas are going to get a makeover, with more brands on offer, longer opening times, improved shop signage and new events.

Stations are fast becoming new urban centres for shopping or relaxation...
