The Gare de Nice-Ville displays a prominent Louis the Thirteenth style facade, featuring red brickwork, white stone corners, and an intricate clock mounted high above the arched entrance. Built in the eighteen sixties to connect Nice to the French rail network, the station served as the grand gateway for aristocrats arriving from northern Europe. During the Second World War, the building became a major site for the local resistance, as workers used the station to help Allied soldiers escape through the surrounding mountains.
