from:
Villeneuve-Saint-Georges France to:
Paris Gare de l'Est France

Welcome to this new video! We are back in France to travel a very special line today, on board a very special train! Indeed, we are traveling on board the VSOE (Venice Simplon Orient Express) which, after having traveled through part of Europe at night, arrives in Paris from the PLM line. But to get to the Paris-Est station, our train takes a line that is rarely used by passenger trains: "la Grande Ceinture parisienne" or roughly translated, the Great Parisian Belt. This line will be the focus of today's video. It forms somewhat of a loop around Paris and allows the interconnection of all the main Parisian lines and stations. Our journey begins at dawn, at the southern entrance of Villeneuve-Saint-Georges station and ends when the train arrives, at Paris-Est station. You will be able to discover many abandoned stations and facilities, most of which have been barely used and subsequently closed due to the low passenger traffic on the line. Only freight trains, a few inter-sector TGVs and a few special passenger trains like ours today use it. Bon voyage and happy discovering of this essential peripheral line, which is nevertheless unknown to many. We hope you enjoyed the video. If you'd like to donate, please click the following link.
