Le Train Bleu is one of those Paris places that feels frozen in time. It opened in 1901 inside Gare de Lyon, built to impress travelers heading south on long distance trains. The ceilings, murals, and chandeliers were all created by well known artists of the era, each painting showing a different region of France the trains once connected.
Walking into the dining room is an experience on its own. The details are overwhelming at first, so take a slow lap before sitting down. You will see scenes of the Riviera, the Alps, and Provence spread across the walls. It is one of the few surviving grand railway restaurants that still looks exactly as it did during the golden age of train travel.
The menu stays close to classic French cooking. Dishes like roast lamb, seafood, and traditional desserts are the main draw, and the service keeps the old school style without feeling stiff. It works well if you are catching a later train or want a long lunch that feels firmly rooted in French dining history.
Even if you are not traveling, it is worth a visit. Few places in Paris offer this combination of architecture, art, and atmosphere all in one room.

I presented state awards to warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, handed over the Order of the Golden Star to the family of a fallen Hero who was awarded this title posthumously, and presented combat flags to the units.
The Unmanned Systems Forces are one of Ukraine’s greatest achievements – proof of Ukrainian leadership in technology and in saving lives through technology. The number of Russian targets struck thanks to our Unmanned Systems Forces already reaches hundreds of thousands per year, and over the past year alone – from June to June – it amounts to more than 356,000 Russian targets struck.
Thank you! I am proud of every man and woman serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces – from soldiers and sergeants to Magyar and all commanders. And we always remember every Ukrainian warrior who gave their life so that Ukraine can live and remain independent and strong.
#Hommage 🇫🇷 Il y a 5 ans, le 4 juillet 2020, la majore Mélanie Lemée perdait la vie dans l'exercice de ses fonctions. Nous pensons aujourd'hui à sa famille, à ses proches et à ses camarades de la @gendarmerie_047. Nous ne l’oublions pas. #DevoirDeMémoire
