Built in 1840 to serve the projected line to Orléans, and owned by the Paris-Orléans company until 1938 when the companies were nationalised into the SNCF, the Gare d'Austerlitz was originally known as the Gare d'Orléans, but renamed after Napoleon 1st's victorious battle at Austerlitz in what is now the Czech Republic. The station was extended in the mid-1860s and has 25 tracks, designed to serve the southwest, although TGV services for the southwest now use the Gare Montparnasse
