The world from the train

Olivier Weber, journalist and adventurer is travelling with his camera in the compartments of trains around the world. The train is an excellent starting point for discovering the country, and we will find out what happens in this mythical way transportation, will meet people who live, eat, sleep, build projects. In several European Asian and Far East countries, the series takes a new approach to the railway travel writing and filming genre by attempting to get to know people. Slices of life, scenery and stopovers are the main ingredients of the program.

Olivier is planning to taste wine prepared by a wine-maker in the fifth generation, to turn the leaves of an ancient geographical atlas in one of the largest university libraries, to visit the sacred city where more than six million piligrims are gathering every year, to try the most delicious pork at the meat fair, to get to the unique fishermen island (though, in this case he will need a ferry boat). The train takes us to every corner we could think of! Even the railway station can be an extremely interesting object when, for example, its wall-paintings tell us the story of the city.

India, Turkey, Switzerland, Africa, Thailand, Scotland, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, Alps, Pyrenees, Irelands, Austria — you will see the world in a new light.
