The Grande Ceinture line (French – Ligne de Grande Ceinture) is a railway line round Paris 15 km from the Boulevard Périphérique. The decision to build it was taken at the end of the 19th century to connect the radial lines linking the capital to the provinces and to relieve the existing Ligne de Petite Ceinture.
