'''Gare d'Austerlitz''' ({{IPA|fr|ɡaʁ dostɛʁlits}}) is a [[metro station|station]] on the [[Paris Métro]], serving [[Paris Métro Line 5|Line 5]] and forming the eastern [[Terminal train station|terminus]] of [[Paris Métro Line 10|Line 10]] in the [[5th arrondissement of Paris|5th]] and the [[13th arrondissement of Paris|13th arrondissements]]. The Line 5 station hall, "probably the most atypical of the Paris Métro", is open to the exterior though under the roof of the mainline [[Gare d'Austerlitz]] and forms part of a sinuous elevated section which has been "considered an exceptional work of urban railway insertion".{{r|sc2014|p=60}}

==History==

The station was originally named the ''Gare d'Orléans'' after the main station of the [[Chemin de Fer de Paris à Orléans]] company, which had opened a line from Paris to the south, via [[Orléans]].<ref name=Rol01/>{{rp|109}} The metro station was renamed ''Gare d'Orléans-Austerlitz'' on 15 October 1930<ref name=Rol01/>{{rp|109}} and with its current name on 25 April 1985. These name changes reflect the changes in the name of the mainline station, which was renamed after the local district, ''Austerlitz'', which is named after the [[Battle of Austerlitz]], the most decisive French victory in the [[Napoleonic Wars]].{{r|rg2003}}
