The craftsmanship of the train carriages is astounding. Each original, 1920s car has been carefully restored and has its very own distinct character. Glance around and your eyes will naturally dwell on exquisite touches such as ornate marquetry with delicate floral patterns by Art Deco master René Prou, elaborately engraved glass panels by René Lalique, black lacquer panels decorated in Oriental style, silk lampshades, bespoke porcelain… all of which combine to create a sensation of unashamed vintage luxury.
