France’s state rail operator SNCF has entered into partnership with French real estate giant Ceetrus to deliver the transformation, which will increase Eurostar capacity and improve access to Charles de Gaulle airport and other stations in the city.
The station, France’s busiest, serves 207 million passengers a year and dates to 1846.
Architect Denis Valide will lead the project, which has been compared to that which transformed London St Pancras into an international rail hub.
