Great Continental Railway Journeys

Series 7

Arriving in Paris at the Champs de Mars station, Michael takes in an epic view of the city from the top of the Arc de Triomphe before heading for Montparnasse, where wildly creative artists and writers of the 1920s and 1930s spawned new art movements. In one of the area's elegant cafes, Michael learns about dada and the avant garde during the Crazy Years after the First World War.
