The Grande Ceinture line (French: Ligne de Grande Ceinture, English: Big Belt Line) is a railway line around Paris, located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) 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 provide relief to the busy Petite Ceinture Line (English: Small Belt Line).
