The Batignolles Tunnel is a former railway tunnel in Paris, located in the 17th arrondissement of Paris. It lies on the approaches to Gare Saint-Lazare in the Batignolles district and is 321 m (1,053 ft) long. Constructed in successive phases between 1837 and 1909, it originally consisted of four parallel galleries. Following a railway accident in 1921, most of the tunnel was demolished between 1923 and 1925 and replaced with an open cutting. Only the most recent gallery, located beneath the Rue de Rome, was retained.
