Train Bleu (Le), Paris

My family didn't tell me I'd celebrate my 70th birthday in a railway station" But le train bleu was tremendous. The ambiance was stunning, the decor and style was magnificent, and the staff looked after us from the moment we arrived. Our French was poor, but the staff indulged us and made us feel very special. The wine list was comprehensive and complemented the meal in a special way. It was a first-class experience and although I would like to go back, perhaps the memory of this one, special occasion should be kept as a one-off. But then again, as the French say, a bientot!
