From Paris to Portofino: Two Legends Meet For the first time in its history, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express travelled to the Ligurian coast. Departing from Paris, the train zigzagged towards Splendido, A Belmond Hotel, with romantic landscapes stretching as far as the eye could see. From Paris, we moved through the Rhone Valley, on to the dramatic coastlines of Cannes and Monaco, the vistas evolving in an endless series of colours, and tomorrow holding the promise of the glittering Italian Riviera. The dining cars were filled with the likes of seabass with Champagne sauce and caviar, artichoke agnolotti with fragrant sage butter, and stuffed courgette flowers with grilled red mullet and Marmande tomato, as our guests were the first to sample Chef Jean Imbert's summer menu. From France to Italy, the culinary heritage could be tasted in each dish. Arriving in Portofino coincided with the summer solstice, illuminating the spellbinding Ligurian village brighter than ever – a sparkling vision of sea set against a backdrop of colourful houses. Stepping off the train, guests headed to the legendary @belmondhotelsplendido where an evening of La Dolce Vita awaited. A gala dinner featured a bespoke tasting menu created Chef Jean Imbert, with the Gulf of Tigullio setting the scene.
