Le Train Bleu

It opened in 1901 as the buffet of the Gare de Lyon, newly built for the 1900 Exhibition, and in 1963 took the name of the luxury train linking Paris with the Riviera. It has been a listed historic monument since 1972.

Its rooms hold 41 period paintings of the cities along the PLM line, from Paris to Marseille and Nice, amid gilding, mouldings and Belle Époque chandeliers. It has appeared in films such as «Nikita» and «Mr. Bean's Holiday».
