The Train Bleu Restaurant.
Paris was about to receive a major new Universal Exhibition in 1900. After the Saint-Lazare train station in 1889, it was the turn of the Gare de Lyon to take on the appearance of a palace, and in particular to magnify the new PLM Company (Paris Lyon Marseille) terminal, which operated lines of the Southeast network at the end of the 19th century. The project was entrusted to the architect Marius Toudoire, who built the 64 meters belfry (the Clock-Tower) and the monumental façade of the station.
The Management of the railway company wanted to build a prestigious buffet, symbol of travel, of technical innovation, of comfort and luxury. The project was given to the same architect, who built the buffet in the building at the centre of the station.
The station’s buffet was unveiled in 1901 by the President of the Republic Emile Loubet.
In 1963, Albert Chazal renamed the buffet as « Le Train Bleu » (the Blue Train), honouring the legendary « Paris-Vintimille », legendary train with as its destination the Côte d’Azur.
Gildings, carvings, mouldings, chandeliers and frescoes cover all the walls of the restaurant, giving it the appearance of a museum of the 1900s. Twenty seven French artists, some awarded with the Prix de Rome, have worked on this unparalleled decor.
The 41 paintings mounted on canvas were painted by the most prominent artists of the time: François Flameng, Henri Gervex, Gaston Casimir Saint-Pierre, René Billotte, etc. They illustrate views of the main cities and sceneries viewed from the PLM Company trains during the 20th century: Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Orange, Villefranche, Monaco, Nice, Saint-Honorat, the Mont-Blanc massif, etc.

Like if we were back in the 1980's and 1990's when the TGV colors were orange like here.
Set TGV 01, named ‘Patrick’, retires after 41 years of service. For this occasion, both power cars got back their original orange livery. Intermediate cars got back SNCF older blue-silver paint scheme, so TGV 01 now sports all three liveries it has had during its active career. The transition between two different liveries is seen here.
TGV 01 "Patrick"
An explosion of colors to say farewell to the first TGV Sud-Est high-speed train. Set TGV 01, named ‘Patrick’, retires after 41 years of service. For this occasion, both power cars got back their original orange livery. Intermediate cars got back SNCF older blue-silver paint scheme, so TGV 01 now sports all three liveries it has had during its active career.
The SNCF TGV Sud-Est or TGV-PSE was a French high speed TGV train built by Alstom and operated by SNCF, the French national railway company. It is a semi-permanently coupled electric multiple unit and was built for operation between Paris and the south-east of France.
The TGV Sud-Est fleet was built between 1978 and 1988 and operated the first TGV service from Paris to Lyon in 1981.
Originally the sets were built to run at 270 km/h (168 mph) but most were upgraded to 300 km/h (186 mph) during their mid-life refurbishment in preparation for the opening of the LGV Méditerranée. The few sets which still have a maximum speed of 270 km/h (168 mph) operate on routes which have a comparatively short distance on the lignes à grande vitesse, such as those to Switzerland via Dijon. SNCF did not consider it financially worthwhile to upgrade their speed for a marginal reduction in journey time.
In December 2019, all TGV Sud-Est sets were retired from service. In early 2020, a farewell service which included TGV01 (Nicknamed Patrick), the very first TGV train ever build. This train included all 3 liveries that were worn during it's service.

Édifiée en 1899 par Marius Toudoire, la gare de Lyon située place Louis Armand remplace un embarcadère, édifié en 1847 et agrandi à maintes reprises en raison de l'accroissement du trafic.
Celle de 1847 est due à l’architecte Cendrier et mise en service le 12 août 1849, son premier nom a été "Embarcadère de chemin de fer de Paris à Montereau".
La gare de Lyon est située en face de la gare d'Austerlitz de l'autre côté de la Seine reliées entre entre elles par le pont d'Austerlitz, le pont Charles de Gaulle et la passerelle d'Austerlitz réservé au passe du métro.
Elle a été inaugurée en 1900, à l'occasion de 'Exposition Universelle de 1900.
Elle, elle possède un beffroi de 64 m de haut comportant 4 cadrans de 6m de diamètre construite dans le style académique de 1900.
Son hall de 220 mètres de long sur 42 mètres de large abritait à cette époque 2 voies ; une pour l’arrivée et une pour le départ qui ont été édifiées sur un remblai de 7 m de haut pour éviter les crues de la Seine.
La gare assure la desserte d'un grand quart Sud Est de la France. C'est la troisième gare de Paris par son trafic soit environ 83 millions de voyageurs par an.
Cinq nouvelles voies sont construites en 1981 pour le TGV

Les voyageurs empruntaient le train français de Paris-Gare du Nord à Boulogne ou Calais-Maritime, selon les saisons, puis un vapeur rapide vers Douvres et de là, le train anglais jusqu'à Londres et vice-versa.
S’il est des restaurants d’exception à Paris, Le Train Bleu en fait partie. Somptueux, ce restaurant de style Second Empire datant des années 1900 est un lieu emblématique, niché dans la Gare de Lyon. Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot, Dali, mais aussi Jean Gabin ont fréquenté ce lieu emblématique du 12ème arrondissement. À la Gare de Lyon, vous embarquez à bord du Train Bleu pour un voyage culinaire, composé de produits du terroir comme le saucisson pistaché à la lyonnaise, la côte de veau fermier rôtie Foyot ou encore le vacherin glacé Train Bleu. Les fresques peintes sur le parcours de la Cie Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée valent elles aussi le détour. Un lieu magique à plus d’un titre.

Paris, beside the Gare de Lyon.
As smoking is prohibited inside the station and in all trains in France, the smokers come in advanc to "make full" before a trip without any cigarette.
Paris, devant la Gare de Lyon.
Comme il est interdit de fumer dans l'enceinte de la gare et dans l'ensemble des trains français, les fumeurs arrivent souvent en avance afin de "faire le plein" avant un voyage sans cigarette.

You see the trains leaving, without you.
I realized that I don't really know how to make a serious face, it took so many retries... I must have looked ridiculous on the platform ;)
Petite balade sous les ponts et dans les gares de Paris. J'ai failli me faire tuer par une bande de jeunes brillants quand je prenais la première.
