Travel / Dream
On October 4, 1883, the luxurious train left Gare de l’Est for the first Paris-Istanbul journey. The train was revolutionary in terms of comfort, the result of significant technological advances. The service on board was that of a palace, offering dining and the option to sleep and travel in a lavish setting. A legend during its lifetime, the Orient Express is a symbol of remarkable industrial and artistic history, inviting 21st-century travellers to behold its wonders.
