Figeac station, c. 1907

Figeac is a railway station in Figeac, Occitanie, France. The station is on the Brive–Toulouse (via Capdenac) railway and Figeac–Arvant railway lines. The station is served by Lunéa (night train) and TER (local) services operated by SNCF.

The station was mostly destroyed by a fire of mysterious origin overnight the 21-22 of November 2018. Despite the efforts of around fifty firefighters from Figeac and surrounding areas, the station's smoke-stained walls were pretty much all that remained standing. An inquiry ruled the fire as "accidental," but questions remain.

As of Summer 2020, the station is still not rebuilt, and doubts linger as to whether it will be restored. SNCF has moved its operations to a nearby parking lot where buses and trains now embark their passengers.
