    About this ebook

    Ladies and gentlemen, the train is about to depart! Cultivate your French is taking the train to the Gare Saint-Lazare! The Gare Saint-Lazare is one of the seven large stations of Paris. In the six following texts, taken from the One Thing in a French Day podcast, the Gare Saint-Lazare is always the point of departure for a Paris get-away. The six transcripts are followed by several items from the 19th century period: a newspaper announcement, a passage from "Au bonheur des dames" by Zola and a short story by Guillaume Apollinaire. As well, there are few translation and French culture notes. Bon voyage! Have a good trip!

    My name is Laetitia Perraut and I am a French woman living just outside of Paris in France. I started my original podcast in 2006 to help people improve their French listening comprehension, vocabulary and overall understanding of the French language. Over the years, many people have asked me to provide English translations.

Ses façades, sa verrière au-dessus des voies, la salle des pas perdus sont classées monuments historiques. Actuellement, en 2011, la gare est en travaux.

La gare Saint-Lazare fut également le sujet d’une série de tableaux de Claude Monet dont le célèbre La gare Saint-Lazare que vous pouvez voir au musée d’Orsay (une ancienne gare transformée en musée).
