Just a stone's throw from the Palais Royal and the Jardin des Tuileries, the Musée d'Orsay is one of Paris's most famous cultural landmarks. You'd be forgiven for forgetting that, before becoming an art center with a wide range of collections, the museum was a railway station, inaugurated for the 1900 Universal Exhibition, and also a hotel! The magnificent clock on the building's fifth floor is testimony to its former vocation. But what did this station, then called the Gare d'Orléans, look like? From the village hall to the old rail tracks and the bedrooms, we take you back in time on this unusual tour of a Parisian landmark.
