Listen to this article

A train on the Transilien Paris – Saint-Lazare line has been transformed to ressemble famous works of art in recognition of the railway’s link with one of the country’s most famous cultural movements.

SNCF and STIF, in partnership with the Musée d’Orsay, have used special coloured plastic films to transform a regional commuter train into an Impressionist dream.
