The Paris Express

A woman determined to make her mark. A journey that will change everything. Paris, 1895. Glamour hides a city on the brink. One morning, an anarchist boards the Granville to Paris express with a deadly plan. Inspired by true events, this unforgettable story follows the lives that intertwine on that fateful journey : the railway crew who have everything to lose, a little boy travelling alone for the first time, an elderly statesman with his fragile wife, and a lonely artist far from home.
All their fates are bound together as the train speeds towards the City of Light ...

"The Paris Express" was inspired by the extraordinary 1895 rail disaster that saw the Granville to Paris Express train crash through the station wall at Gare Montparnasse from where it dropped to the ground outside and was captured in a series of surreal, extraordinary photographs.
