New Paris Commuter Train

A rail journey fit for a king: A Paris commuter train has carriages transformed to resemble rooms from the Palace of Versailles.
Few commuters in Britain would describe their train journey to and from work as a pleasant experience.
Passengers have become used to overcrowded carriages, not to mention finding discarded newspapers, sweet wrappers or worse on the seats.
But some lucky commuters in France enjoy an amazing ride, as these pictures show.

Lavish: A commuter train in Paris France, decorated in the colours of the Palace of Versailles in an impressive project.

Incredible: The train's carriages resemble rooms from the royal palace.
Passengers who take a journey on the RER C line do so in lavish surroundings.
The refurbishments were carried out thanks to a deal between officials at the palace and rail operator SNCF.

Striking: An image of a statue from the palace grounds looks down on passengers.

Splendid: Ornate images can be found on the back of comfortable seats.

Colourful: Giant scenes from Versailles have transformed for the train.

Enormous: Branches sprawl across the ceiling of the carriage in this huge painting.

Powerful imagery: The train carries the colours of the Palace of Versailles.

Beauty: A golden statue is reflected in a glass mirror on the train.

Reflections: The refurbishments are designed to evoke memories of areas of the royal chateau and its grounds.

Booking details: Passengers can take their place alongside an amazing display of a mock library.

Vibrant: A once-dull door on the train has been transformed with bright red and pink colours.


Facelift: The changes, which were funded by the Palace of Versailles, and the rail system.

Swirls: Another decorative ceiling design based on furnishings from the Palace of Versailles.

Unexpected: The exterior of the train gives few clues to the incredible displays found inside.

Looks nearly as impressive as First Scotrail!

I cant tell the difference.

Don't worry, it will look the same in a few days

Also, I like finding discarded newspaper on my seat : free reading for the ride

PS : On the last pics, for those who want to know what's written : "Take the train with your camera. Without any proof, nobody will believe you" + something telling the train will bring you to Versailles, which is usual.
