Tip: open the video in YouTube and then hit the "CC" button to get a good English translation of the narration (you might want to slow it down a bit, too).
Bon voyage!

The Great Vacation Trains - Paris, 1958
A delightful record of the annual departure of a million Parisians for summer vacations in all directions, via the French National Railways (S. N. C. F.) and the Herculean efforts of its employees and train crews. A marvelous people-watching video from a bygone era. All of those fresh-faced garcons are now old graybeards like me.
