We can organise a charming and luxurious stay in Paris in a 5-star hotel on request.
DAY 1: PARIS - ALPES (Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express train)
Your train journey France - Italy begins in Paris Gare de l'Est: you board the famous Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express. This luxury night train, heir to the Grand Orient Express, is one of the most luxurious in the world. A butler in blue livery will welcome you and seat you.
Your romantic dinner is one of the highlights of the journey. Prepared by the train's French chefs, it is served in one of the three dining cars. All the passengers have obviously made an effort to dress up*, the train's motto being: "You can never be too well dressed on board the Venice-Simplon-Orient-Express".
Before returning to your compartment, you may want to sip a drink in the piano-bar carriage...
Settle into your luxury sleeper train for a dreamy night in your compartment, transformed into an elegant bedroom.
