'''Gare Lisch''' ({{IPA|fr|ɡaʁ liʃ}}; {{literal translation}} 'Lisch station'; also '''Gare des Carbonnets''') is an antique train station designed by architect [Juste Lisch](/source/Juste_Lisch) and presently located in the suburb of [Asnières-sur-Seine](/source/Asni%C3%A8res-sur-Seine), France, northwest of [Paris](/source/Paris). It was originally built in 1878 near the site of the [Eiffel Tower](/source/Eiffel_Tower) to serve the third Parisian world's fair, the [Exposition Universelle](/source/Exposition_Universelle_(1878)). It was moved to its current site in 1897.<ref name=last_train>{{cite web|title=Last Train to the Eiffel Tower: The Station that Paris Forgot|url=https://www.messynessychic.com/2014/09/19/last-train-to-the-eiffel-tower-the-station-that-paris-forgot/|date=19 September 2014|accessdate=26 September 2020}}</ref> A vast 19th-century monument (about 15 000 sq ft), it is located minutes to [Paris-Saint-Lazare](/source/Gare_Saint-Lazare) by train (at nearby [Bois-Colombes](/source/Bois-Colombes_station)).

The building is a masterpiece of architecture with unique original features and vast dimensions. Natural light falls from a glass canopy that encompasses the length of the station.

The building was run down until 2025 when a complete renovation was undertaken by the city of Asnières-sur-Seine to refurbish the [national historical monument](/source/Monument_historique).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-02 |title="On l'a sauvée !" : à l'abandon depuis 40 ans, la gare Lisch d'Asnières-sur-Seine va (enfin) être rénovée |url=https://actu.fr/ile-de-france/asnieres-sur-seine_92004/on-l-a-sauvee-a-l-abandon-depuis-40-ans-la-gare-lisch-d-asnieres-sur-seine-va-enfin-etre-renovee_62444007.html |access-date=2025-04-06 |website=actu.fr |language=fr}}</ref> It still contains the original equipment of an antique railway station, including station platforms, rails and traffic signs, which makes it appear somewhat like a ghost station. No particular further use is determined at this point although its size and natural lighting suggest to use it for art exhibits or as a fashion runway.
