A cosmopolitan icon for more than 130 years, Orient Express (Accor group) embodies a timeless luxury, reinvented today in the restoration of the train's 17 historic carriages and in a collection of hotels. In parallel, the Fonds de dotation Orient Express, created in 2018, preserves and promotes the heritage attached to the famous train and produces ambitious exhibitions, including two with the Rencontres d'Arles (2021 and 2024) and one at the Villa Médicis for Orient Express's 140th anniversary.
