L’Observatoire Carriage Designed by JR for the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

INTRODUCING: L’Observatoire, an exclusive carriage designed by renowned artist JR for the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
A magic moment in history, L’Observatoire was presented on a barge floating through the Venetian waters. From April 17th to 22nd, the public was invited to peer through eye-shaped portholes placed in the carriage windows to discover JR’s creative haven unfold through intricately crafted spaces. On a one-of-a-kind reveal, JR recreated the iconic 1982 moment when the Étoile du Nord dining car and one of the sleeper carriages were presented on the lagoon during the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express’s first trip to Venice. Our most expansive suite to date and the first carriage to be entirely designed by an artist, L’Observatoire will officially join the train in 2025.
