La gare de Metz-Ville est inscrite comme monument historique depuis le 15 janvier 1975. “The Mets-Ville station has been registered as a historical monument since January 15th, 1975.”

6. Strasbourg-Ville “Strasbourg-Ville”
La gare de Strasbourg-Ville a une grosse verrière. “The Strasbourg-Ville station has a huge glass roof.”

There is also Rouen-Rive-Gauche.
9. Tours “Tours”

That’d have been super high.
