You're standing at the Musée d'Orsay, on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris. Take a good look at this building. That long façade, those huge arched windows: this used to be a railway station. The Gare d'Orsay was built between 1898 and 1900, just in time for the World's Fair of 1900, and trains left from here for the south of France.
