Le Train Bleu

Situated not far from the Place de la Bastille, inside the train-station of Lyon (Gare de Lyon) in the 12th district, the Train Bleu was opened in 1901. The greatest painters of the time contributed to the magnificent decor of this buffet that is listed as an historic building. The golden-wood paneling, the paintings, the brass luggage racks and the bench seats recreate the heavily ornamented atmosphere of the early 19th century. People also come here to enjoy an excellent brasserie cuisine.
