Le Train Bleu - Paris, France

   
Paris, France needs little introduction as the cosmopolitan capital city of France, located in the north central part of the country.  The City of Light is just waiting for you to amble through the side streets, duck into passageways and discover hidden treasures that will leave an indelible impression on your heart.

With so much to see and do in Paris, it can be overwhelming to know where the real treasures are hiding.  Getting to know the secrets of this wonderful city can simply take a lifetime.  We all travel with the anticipation of experiencing that perfect moment that transports us to another time. Sometimes those destinations are hiding in plain sight, like Le Train Bleu Paris…

Inside the magnificent Paris-Gare de Lyon train station, you will find the regal Le Train Bleu restaurant. Yes, inside a train station! It is a curious location to find classical French food, original artwork and ambiance, all in one stop.  The palatial Gare de Lyon train station built for the International Exposition - the World’s Fair of 1901, to exhibit technological progresses and expressed optimism moving into the 20th century. Paris- Gare de Lyon, located in the 12th arrondissement, on the right bank of the Seine River, is ranked third busiest train station in the French capital with trains operating from south-and eastern-France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and beyond.

Le Train Bleu was originally named the "Buffet de la Gare de Lyon”,  but was renamed "Le Train Bleu" in 1963, after a luxury French night express train of the wealthy and famous, which operated for two decades before World War II.  Le Train Bleu gained international fame as the preferred train by movie stars and other affluent passengers traveling between Calais and the Côte d'Azur.
