Amazing. This French commuter train running between Paris and Versailles has been refurbished to look like the palace, thanks to a clever process that involved layering the walls of the train with a high-tech plastic film, create replications of seven different palace areas including the Hall of Mirrors, Marie-Antoinette’s estate, the formal gardens, and even a mock library in one of the train cars.
