Oh my G-d, that's hilarious! Fingers crossed my daughter and I get to ride it on our trip later this month!

Thank you for sharing this, gomiki

i like the advice to travellers on the outside of the train shown on the last photo, telling them to bring their cameras because otherwise, they won't be believed.

I wonder how long this will run? I can't seem to find that info in the article. I hope someone will to a TR if they ride this train.

And I too would ride the train just to ride the train! I can see myself riding to and fro from car to car.

even if you are not planning to go to Versailles, you can presumably enjoy this train by, say, boarding it at Notre dame/st. michel and riding up to the Musee D'orsay, so long as you get the Versailles rive Gauche train.

you don't have to go all the way!

That's so cool! And yes, I love the "sans preuve on ne vous croira pas" sign!

Hoping to hop on this at the end of summer!

That's fantastic! I hope the graffiti vandals leave it alone.
