Metro: Gare du Midi . Just outside the petit ring, the Gare du Midi is now the city's major railway terminal, the terminus of most international services including those operated by Eurostar from the UK. The station has already been expanded and modernized on several occasions, but work continues with the construction of more platforms and facilities. The area round the station is, however, home to many of the city's North African immigrants, a severely depressed and at times seedy quarter with an uneasy undertow by day and sometimes overtly threatening at night. The only good time to visit the district is on a Sunday morning, when a vibrant souk-like market is held under the station's rail arches and along boulevard du Midi.
