After decades of rail service, the station closed its doors in 1991, to be reborn with a new look thanks to the vision of the City of Nice. Since 2012, it has housed a media library, providing a vibrant cultural space in the heart of the city. A remarkable restoration campaign, completed in 2019, has revealed the full splendour of this remarkable heritage, while the former metal hall has been transformed into a space dedicated to gastronomy, helping to revitalise the surrounding district.
Gare du Sud was built to open up the region and facilitate the transport of everyday goods to the towns of Meyrargues and Digne-les-Bains. The station is of historic and functional importance.
