OMG4554707: Le Train Bleu, Gare de Lyon, Paris 12. Architecture, 1900. The railway company PLM wanted to offer the Gare de Lyon for the 1900 World Exhibition a buffet that it wanted sublime. Ornaments and fresco, the former “buffet of the Gare de Lyon” perfectly represents the fine style of the second empire. On April 7, 1901, it was even inaugurated by the President of the Republic, Emile Loubet. It was not until 1963 that it was renamed “” Le Train bleu”” in honour of the legendary Paris-Ventimille train (Paris Ventimille) / Bridgeman Images
TEC4594859: Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris 8th arrondissement. It was Jean Baptiste (Jean-Baptiste) Colbert (1619-1683) who had Andre Le Notre (1613-1700) opened in 1667 an avenue starting from the Tuileries to reach a hill, today called L'Etoile. There's nothing left from that time. Only nineteenth century witnesses remain on the Champs Elysees. Bernard Huet was asked in 1994 to bring back the Champs Elysees in order to restore its prestige to the avenue: the cars were driven from the allees, an underground car park created, the floor covered with grey granite slabs. The promenade aspect was reinforced by the planting of a second row of plane trees and new constraints were defined for signs and display cases. / Bridgeman Images
