Station Amsterdam Amstel 24/06/2021 09h36

The VSOE (Venice Simplon Orient Express after departure from platform 4 in Amsterdam at 09h27 with destination Venice (via Bruxelles and Paris). Not the best spot to take a picture of this long train but good enough. The VSOE is pulled by a Lineas Traxx locomotive.

The Venice Simplon Orient Express is one of the most famous luxury trains in the world. The train connects a number of European cities, such as London, Paris, Venice and Istanbul. The original 1920 carriages have been carefully restored and transport you to another time with the comforts of today. An Art Deco decor, gastronomic indulgence, live entertainment, a unique experience. On June 22, 2021, this train came from Venice to Amsterdam to return to Venice on June 24, 2021.

 

Venice-Simplon Orient Express

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (VSOE) is a private luxury train service from London to Venice and other European cities. It is currently owned by Belmond, which operates 45 luxury hotels, restaurants, tourist trains and river cruises in 24 countries. It was agreed in December 2018 for the service to be acquired by LVMH in a transaction initially expected to close in the first half of 2019.

These VSOE services are not to be confused with a regularly scheduled train called the Orient Express, which ran nightly between Paris and Bucharest - in the last years of operation cut back to between Strasbourg and Vienna - until 11 December 2009. This latter was a normal EuroNight sleeper train and was the lineal descendant of the regular Orient Express daily departure from Paris to Vienna and the Balkans. While this descendant train was primarily used for every sort of passengers to Central and Eastern Europe, applying only the standard international train fares, the VSOE train is aimed at tourists looking to take a luxury train ride. Fares on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express are high as the service is intended not as an ordinary rail service, but as a leisure event with five-star dining included.

 

The train was established in 1982 by James Sherwood of Kentucky, USA. In 1977 he had bought two original carriages at an auction when the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits withdrew from the Orient Express service, passing the service on to the national railways of France, Germany, and Austria. Over the next few years, Sherwood spent a total of US$16 million purchasing 35 sleeper, restaurant and Pullman carriages. On 25 May 1982, the first London–Venice run was made.

The VSOE has separate restored carriages for use in the UK and for mainland Europe, but all of the same vintage (mostly dating from the 1920s and 1930s). Passengers are conveyed across the English Channel by coach on the Eurotunnel shuttle through the Channel Tunnel. In the UK Pullman carriages are used; in continental Europe sleeping cars and dining cars of the former Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits are used. Sleeper carriages have a range of accommodation available including Grand Suites, Cabin Suites, Twin Cabins and Single cabins.

VSOE runs services between March and November. The classical London - Paris - Milan - Venice (and return) route via the Simplon Tunnel was altered in 1984 to serve Zürich, Innsbruck and Verona through the Brenner Pass. This journey is offered once or twice a week, depending on other trips. Two or three times a year Prague or Vienna and Budapest are also accessed, starting from Venice, and returning to Paris and London. Every September the train also travels from London and Paris to Istanbul via Budapest, Sinaia and Bucharest - in the last three cities a sightseeing tour (and in the two capitals an overnight stay in a hotel) also takes place - the return trip on the same route ends in Venice.

The building of the Louis Vuitton Foundation (previously Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation, in French "Fondation Louis-Vuitton pour la création"), started in 2006, is an art museum and cultural center sponsored by the group LVMH and its subsidiaries. It is run as a legally separate, nonprofit entity as part of LVMH's promotion of art and culture.The $143 million museum in Paris was opened in October 2014. The building was designed by the architect Frank Gehry, and is adjacent to the Jardin d'Acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. In 2001, Bernard Arnault, the Chairman of LVMH, met Frank Gehry, and told him of plans for a new building for the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. The building project was first presented in 2006, with costs estimated at around €100 million ($127 million) and plans to open in late 2009 or early 2010. Suzanne Pagé, then director of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, was named the foundation’s artistic director in charge of developing the museum's program. The city of Paris which owns the park granted a building permit in 2007. In 2011, an association for the safeguard of the Bois de Boulogne won a court battle, as the judge ruled the centre had been built too close to a tiny asphalt road deemed a public right of way. Opponents to the site had also complained that a new building would disrupt the verdant peace of the historic park. The city appealed the court decision. Renowned French architect Jean Nouvel backed Gehry and said of the objectors: "With their little tight-fitting suits, they want to put Paris in formalin. It's quite pathetic." Eventually a special law was passed by the Assemblée Nationale that the Fondation was in the national interest and “a major work of art for the whole world,” which allowed it to proceed. The museum opened to the public in October, at a reported cost of $143 million. Before the official opening, it provided the venue for Louis Vuitton’s women’s spring/summer 2015 fashion show. In May 2017, Marianne, a French news magazine, revealed the final cost of the building: €780 million, close to $900 million. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Vuitton_Foundation

TAG Heuer es un fabricante suizo de relojes de lujo, especializado en relojes deportivos y cronógrafos, con una fuerte vinculacion con el mundo de la automoción. Forma parte de la compañía de artículos de lujo LVMH, al igual que Zenith o Hublot. El lema de la compañía es "Swiss Avant-Garde Since 1860" (Vanguardia suiza desde 1860).

La compañía fue fundada en 1860 por Edouard Heuer en St-Imier, Suiza. Su primer cronógrafo fue patentado en 1882, y en 1887 Heuer patenta el "piñón oscilante", aún usado en cronógrafos mecánicos. En 1911 Heuer patenta el primer cronógrafo de a bordo para automóviles y aviación, el "Time of Trip". En 1914 presenta su primer cronógrafo de pulsera y en 1916 presenta el Micrograph, el primer cronógrafo que mediría centésimas de segundo. Las Olimpíadas de Amberes, París y Amsterdam se cronometran con instrumentos de la firma.

En 1932 presenta el "Autavia", un cronógrafo para AUTomóviles y AVIAción, que acabaría siendo una importante línea en la marca. También entre 1935 y 1940 harían cronógrafos para pilotos de la Luftwaffe, conocidos como "Flieger". Acabada la guerra, hicieron modelos con triple calendario (día, fecha y mes). En 1958 harían nuevas series de relojes de tablero, que estuvieron en producción hasta la década de los '80. También harían instrumentos para cronometrar pruebas deportivas como esquí o pruebas de motor, incluyendo Fórmula 1.

A principios de los '60, John Glenn se convierte en el tercer astronauta norteamericano, y el primero en ponerse en órbita con su cápsula Mercurio. En su muñeca, fijado con cintas, llevaba un cronógrafo sin hora de la firma. El reloj se conserva hoy en el Museo del Aire y el Espacio de San Diego.

Los relojes de la firma eran populares durante aquellos años entre corredores de automóvil, tanto profesionales como amateurs. Heuer era el líder en producción de cronógrafos y equipos de medición de tiempos. Se hicieron versiones especiales con nombres de circuitos míticos, como con logos de equipos de carreras y patrocinadores. También se adquiere la marca "Leonidas", fabricante, entre otros de cronógrafos para la fuerza aérea alemana.

FONDATION LVMH KODAK TX 400

Empires est une installation spécialement conçue pour Monumenta 2016 par l'artiste chinois Huang Yong Ping.

 

L'installation traduit la vision de l'artiste vis à vis de la mondialisation actuelle (symbolisée par des containers) et du caractère éphémère des "empires" humains (bicorne de Napoléon, peu visible sur la photo mais symbole de la fragilité des empires), le tout menacé par le squelette du reptile/dragon, l'éternel mutant (toujours très présent dans son oeuvre). La transformation permanente du monde est au coeur du Taoïsme et fonde l'oeuvre de l'artiste Huang Yong Ping.

La Samaritaine

La Samaritaine is a large department store in the first arrondissement of Paris; the nearest metro station is Pont-Neuf. Founded in 1870 by Ernest Cognacq it is now owned by the luxury goods conglomerate LVMH.

The store was a member of the International Association of Department Stores from 1985 to 1992.

The store was closed on 15 June 2005, due to serious fire risk with the building needing urgent safety renovations. However labour unions believed it was because of a restructure of the store.

After sixteen years of closure the department store was reopened to the public in June of 2021, now also co-branded as part of DFS. The store was reopened by French President Emmanuel Macron and CEO of LVMH, Bernard Arnault. The buildings now include a Cheval Blanc hotel, nursery, offices and social housing.

As of 2024 the store is struggling to attract customers.
