Not only a beautiful building but it is well kept, clean, secure (typically see 3 armed police…read morestrolling around) and many services for the locals and travelers. A very well stocked store open from early until 9:30pm with everything your heart could desire - including (very) fresh produce, wine (of course) and everything else - also a GREAT coffee shop and patisserie. And oh yes - the trains - plentiful and reliable. Paris is 1 hour 45 minutes away and (on Saturday) 2 trains an hour (more during the week I think). In first class a comfortable way to travel - and regardless of class, a green way to travel.

Since Rouen is the capital of Normandy, then the rail was station is also going to be rather large…read more Actually, it really isn't as large as some of the ones in Paris, nad it was annoying that there weren't any elevators to allow us to get our bags to the platform. We really only came here from Paris, but passed through a few times namely because we were heading out to some places in the regions.

Both seating areas have several power outlets, which is convenient. To use the WC, you need to pay €0.30. It's free to use the one on the train. If you want real food that is grab and go, the nearest is a boulangerie with sandwiches, baguettes, etc. Walk away from the station, walk to the left one block, then turn right and walk one block. Before you reach the end, you'll see the blue canopy shop. This is the train station stop for Monet's Giverny home and garden. So it has a regular rush of train riders including the locals. Too bad there isn't more at the station itself while you wait for the train. No comment on the staff as I already bought my ticket in Paris so no interactions.
