All of which is a tribute to the original Train Bleu, aka the Calais-Méditerranée Express, a fancy French luxury night train ferrying the smart set to the French Riviera in the first half of the twentieth century.

Wikipedia pages has all kinds of copycat Blue Train luxury/night trains from around the world. I feel it would be pointless for me to post them here, better that other posters who have had a more direct experience do so.
