Restaurant Le Train Bleu, Gare de Lyon, Paris, France

Le Train Bleu ("The Blue Train") is a restaurant located in the hall of the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris, France. It was designated a Monument Historique in 1972.

The restaurant was originally created for the Exposition Universelle (1900). Each ornate dining room is themed to represent cities and regions of France and they are decorated with 41 paintings by some of the most popular artists of that time.

Initially called "Buffet de la Gare de Lyon", it was renamed "Le Train Bleu" in 1963, after the famous train of the same name.

CRIME SEINE ALBUM part 13 : LE TRAIN BLEU (Visuals for chapter 22: TRAIN BLEU THERAPY)

(above) Up the stairs in the pic: the entreance of the TRAIN BLEU overlooking the hall of the train station Paris - Gare de Lyon. It’s probably going change soon: last time I was there, there was some renovating in the hall going on?

(above) The main dining halls. This is empty, because it was in the morning. Later in the day it’s CROWDED and rather noisy.

More crappy pics from my phone under the cut…

(above) That’s some heavy décor all right ^^;; Aaaah, the time when travelling was a luxury...

(above) The little corridor leading to smaller rooms where Daken and Hannibal relocate for more “intimacy” for their session…

(above) The nice metal rail where Daken leans on before leaving the place entirely.

Retour à mon projet de présenter la plupart de mes 53880 photos (nouveau compte approximatif !)

2013. Une journée à Paris. La Gare de Lyon, avec une conso à l’extraordinaire “Train Bleu” où je retrouve Christine.

Sur la dernière photo, c’est la gare de Lyon à nouveau et j’y retrouve Marseille et Notre-Dame de la Garde !

Last night I was wondering if I should cook today or not, but I wasn't really into it to be honest, until I saw this post from a comic thar says Bruce Wayne studied in France at the Le Cordon Bleu (most famous cooking school) so I got excited to cook again 😊

This is what I made, bruschetta/canapes with a Polenta base.

Salade Lyonnaise

Longe de Porc Braisée au Pommes et Pruneaux

And to finish a vegan apple pie

“THE BLUE DEVILS OF THE ALPS - This picture shows the Alpine Chasseurs on maneuvers in the Alps near the Italian frontier. These "Blue Devils," so called because their berets are blue, are as much at home on skis as are the British cavalry on horses, and ninety per cent. of their "route marches" and maneuvers are done on these seemingly unwieldy skis.”

- from the Hamilton Spectator. March 14, 1931. Page 15.

Because @sailorotter​ is a total darling, and once she sent me better pics than my phone can take while she was there.

(More under the cut…)

(above) See how elegant were the people supposed to be able to afford travel back then?

Detail for the lamps.

Incidentally, this is Paris’ coat of arms. A boat, which fits the motto of the city, Fluctuat nec mergitur (She is rocked by waves but never sinks).
