Le Train Bleu-good place for drinks?
 
Does Le Train Bleu have a bar area where we might be able to get a drink and perhaps an appetizer or small plate rather than a full dinner?

Thank you

There's Ben's Bar but not as attractive as the main dining area.
Why not sinply ask if you can have drink and a simle appetizer

I would think your could get one of the tables upfront for drinks and an app. The bar there is small.
It is a very pretty restaurant.

Be prepared to pay extra for the extravagent decor.

The Big Ben Bar is part of the Train Bleu -- no problem at all to get drinks there.

Yes, that is what we did in order to just enjoy the ambience--had a glass of wine in the lounge area at lunch time and loved watching the stylish French folk arrive for their midday repast. Be sure to use the rest room--it is a sort of a 'blast from the past'--sort of "as it was" but modern, of course.
It's a great little visit.
