Located on the eastern edge of
Tours,
Saint-Pierre-des-Corps station is a major hub in the
French railway network, connecting the
LGV Atlantique, used by
high-speed trains traveling from
Paris to
Nantes,
Bordeaux, and
Toulouse. The
station at Tours itself is a terminus station through which trains cannot pass, so trains that do not terminate at Tours tend to avoid it entirely, leaving Saint-Pierre-des-Corps as the principal long distance station for the entire metropolitan area. ==See also==
