Eating in Paris - Le Train Bleu

John and Judy Humphreys had a magical meal at Le Train Bleu in Paris. John writes . . .
High quality dining and railway station is a non-sequitur in today's world, but this beautifully decorated old brasserie is located in the heart of the Gare de Lyon. Look at the trains, look at the recently restored frescos and of course, just look at the people.

It is not cheap, but worth it for a splurge. The best Sole Meuniere that we have ever had. Click on the link below to check it out for yourself.
