The refurbishment of the historic Saint-Jean railway station in Bordeaux was undertaken in conjunction with the new section of high-speed train line to Paris, which opened in the middle of 2017. At the same time, a further station building with a multistorey parking garage above it was constructed on the opposite side of the tracks.
This new structure, with its concourse, 360 bicycle parking places and a ground floor passenger hall with restaurants and shops acts as an additional reception building for the station and serves the adjacent urban quarter of Belcier. The connection to the main building and access to the platforms is through a new subway.
