EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the boat train to Paris, about to depart from Charing Cross station in London, circa 1900. The boat train, also known as the "Fleurette," was a unique mode of transportation that combined the convenience of a train journey with the romance of a sea voyage. The photograph showcases the grandeur of the era, with passengers eagerly preparing for their journey to the City of Light. The train, adorned with elegant carriages and puffs of smoke billowing from the engine, exudes an air of excitement and anticipation. The station platform, bustling with activity, adds to the sense of energy and movement. The boat train was an engineering marvel of its time. It allowed passengers to travel from London to Paris in just over 12 hours, making it a popular choice for tourists and business travelers alike. The journey began with a train ride from London to the port of Folkestone, where passengers would transfer to a boat that would take them across the English Channel to Boulogne-sur-Mer in France. From there, they would board another train that would take them to Paris. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of travel and transportation in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where the journey was just as important as the destination, and the simple pleasure of travel was a source of excitement and adventure. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the boat train to Paris and the unique experiences it offered to its passengers.
