I have no idea what happens on Orient Express is apart from that fictitious murder long ago.

Having tea with a friend who’s also the Orient Express art director, I asked “what is it exactly, is it still running?” and then heard it’s possible for a limited time to meet and enjoy a meal prepared by Yannick Alléno.
Sounds fun.
So somehow managed to force my way in make a reservation for the weekend.

The french cuisine was delicious in it’s own way but being on the train for an hour and a half was an interesting challenge, Then the train pulled into a place called Gare d’Epernay.

A rainbow at sunset. Appearing then fading away, I wonder if this was part of the production too.

Then it was back again to Paris.
A mysterious trip roughly 4-hours long.
​
The train departs Paris Airport until July 16, and then departs Bordeaux Airport from July 20th until 30th.​ ​
If anyone interested is in Pairs around then and fancies experiencing a slip in time should by all means visit.

Unfortunately, there was no murder.
And Poirot did not appear …
