Paris (#7) - Gare du Nord

The North Station (Gare du Nord) is one of the terminus railway stations in Paris.  It looks magnificent, from any angle, so I made another painting of it, this time from a different side of the structure (Click to view a step-by-step demo of my first painting, Paris North Station).

I got off here when I arrived in Paris by train for the first time.  Old apartment complexes, graffitti-covered walls, billboards, industrial zones...  What I saw, as my train began to slow down before reaching this station, was a little glance at the northern suburban Paris.  I must say it didn't prepare me much for what I would see later on in the city.

The moment I stepped out of the train, swallowed by waves of people, the Gare du Nord welcomed me with her majestic and classy grandeur -- an exciting moment for a traveler.
