Montparnasse is called “The Breton District” as trains carrying poor people from Brittany in the early 20th century who were moving to Paris hoping for a better life arrived in Montparnasse, with many of the families deciding to stay and settle in the district. Now, many Breton shops and restaurants can be found in the area. In the early 20th century, many poor immigrants came to Paris in search of a better life and economic opportunities from Brittany. They arrived in Gare Montparnasse, and many settled in the area, where you can still find Breton restaurants and shops.

Montparnasse Station in Paris is one of the three largest stations in the city, located on the boundary between the 6th,14th, and 15th arrondissements in the hilly, busy neighborhood of Montparnasse. The station originally opened in 1840, was rebuilt in 1852, and was moved just a few hundred meters to the south in 1969; the famous Montparnasse Tower skyscraper, the tallest building in France until 2011, stands in the place of the old station. The station serves TGV trains (TGVs are the fast intercity trains that travel around France) between Paris and the west and southwest, cities such as Tours, Nantes, Bordeaux, and Rennes. There is also a large underground metro station here, Montparnasse-Bienvenüe, which is the fourth-busiest in Paris and services Line 4, Line 6, Line 12, and Line 13. The history of the station is marked by a famous, unusual incident in October 1895. A train running from Granville to Paris overran a buffer stop, and shot thirty meters through the station concourse, crashed through a two-foot thick wall, shot across a terrace and right out of the station, crashing onto the Place de Rennes below where it finally came to a stop resting on its front! No one on the train died; only a few sustained minor injuries, but a woman on the street below sadly died. Now, the main concourse in the station contains two floors of shopping and restaurants, where you can relax if you have a couple of hours to wait for a train - just keep an eye out for any trains flying through the air!
