Every day, our 3,000 stations serve 10 million passengers and visitors. Regardless of size and footfall, all stations must be:

• Efficient, with impeccable safety, cleanliness, information and accessibility.
• Convenient. Comfort, quality services and optimum waiting time are essential for all our customers.
• Modern, with ambitious environmental goals. SNCF stations must be eco-friendly, digital and responsible.
• Unforgettable. Stations are the setting for many of life’s most powerful moments—but they’re also cultural icons, with deep roots in their communities.

We focus on 5 priorities: people, quality, environmental performance, the planet, and local communities. Delivering on these values gives stations more appeal—and that gives rail travel more appeal.

Our subsidiaries are recognized for the quality of their skills and expertise. Thanks to them, SNCF Gares & Connexions is present along the entire value chain:

• SNCF Retail & Connexions markets and monetizes in-station spaces
• AREP is a multidisciplinary engineering and design firm that plans and builds in-station spaces
• SNCF Hubs & Connexions develops and operates stations and transport hubs outside France
• Lagardère & Connexions manages newsagent operation in French stations

Stations play an essential role in the SNCF ecosystem, with ties to the French State, municipalities, local residents and economic actors. They are part of our collective response to the challenges we face—in the environment, in society and in our communities.
