Despite statistics showing that commercial air travel is 190 times safer than driving a car, many are still hesitant. Who are we to judge them, given that some of us also share the same sentiment? Although this locks us out of destinations that are exclusively accessible via aircraft, Belmond provides a luxe alternative. Go by rail with tickets for a journey from Paris to Monaco.
Those in a hurry to earn another stamp on their passports can still pick from a couple of itineraries that would allow them to visit the sovereign city-state on the French Riviera. However, if your next sabbatical is still in 2027, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is available for June 2027. Plus, travelers can pick from all cabin types as of this writing.
These include the Historic Cabins, Suites, and Grand Suite — each delivering a memorable and lavish experience. According to Belmond, your Paris to Monaco ticket offers an overnight accommodation in the cabin of your choosing, complimentary transfers, 24-hour steward service, a four-course dinner, sommelier wines, French breakfast, and a three-course lunch.
We feel this is perfect for folks who prefer a short yet sweet excursion. We all need one to recharge before facing the daily trudge of reality. The train itself is a marvel of engineering brimming with opulent furnishings. It’s like an ethereal transition from contemporary to classic, which is all part of the package.
As the Paris to Monaco marketing page states: “Step onto a legend in motion – a living icon of craftsmanship, culture and glamour. Time feels softened, stretched and wholly your own as you wind through the sun-drenched scenery of the French Riviera before alighting in the glittering enclave of Monte Carlo.”
