Vincent Voiture
Vincent Voiture (24 February 1597 – 26 May 1648), French poet and writer of prose, was the son of a rich wine merchant of Amiens. He was introduced by a schoolfellow, the count Claude d'Avaux, to Gaston, Duke of Orléans, and accompanied him to Brussels and Lorraine on diplomatic missions. Although a follower of the Duke of Orléans, he won the favour of Cardinal Richelieu, and was one of the earliest members of the Académie française. He also received appointments and pensions from Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. He published nothing in book form, but his verses and his prose letters (published after his death by his nephew) were the delight of the coteries, and were copied, handed about and admired more perhaps than the work of any contemporary. He had been early introduced by Chaudebonne to the ''Hôtel de Rambouillet'', where he became a close friend of Julie d'Angennes, the daughter of Charles d'Angennes and Catherine de Vivonne, ''marquis'' and ''marquise de Ramboui ...

Voiture État
The voiture État, nicknamed hen-house due to is numerous windows is a type of railway passenger car. These cars disposed of an indestructible chassis below a wooden frame and equipped with a door for each compartment. The cars were built from 1902 to 1927 by the Chemins de Fer de l'Ouest (later incorporated in the Chemins de Fer de l'État) for use on omnibus and intercity services of the company. 488 cars were modernised from 1952 to 1961 with a replacement metallic frame in replacement of the wooden one as well as the construction of a central corridor. Only a very few coaches remain in preservation, most of which at Pont-Erambourg.

Voiture État à 2 étages
The Voiture État à deux étages, (English: ''State Railway Company double-deck passenger car''), were a class of double-deck carriages built for Paris suburban services of the French Chemin de fer de l'État. Origin The suburbs of Paris, having experienced a huge expansion at the beginning of the 20th century, the railway companies serving the Île-de-France region were faced with an increasing number of passengers travelling greater distances. The Chemin de Fer de l'Ouest's old carriages were no longer adequate and the Chemin de fer de l'État decided to design a new style of passenger car, capable of carrying passengers on two levels. The aim was to avoid increasing the length of trains whilst increasing capacity. Design The design was revolutionary for its use of aluminium as well as steel to reduce weight.''Les nouvelles voitures de banlieue dites à étage du réseau de l'État'', par M. LION, 1945, Éditeur L'ALUMINIUM FRANÇAIS. Although unpowered, each rake of seven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Voiture De Banlieue à 2 Niveaux
The VB2N (', "two-deck suburban car") is a double-deck passenger car used on Transilien suburban rail services in the Île-de-France region of France. The cars are unpowered and designed to be paired with an electric locomotive. The coaches, built from 1974, are the successors of the Chemins de Fer de l'État's 1933 built Voiture État à 2 étages. They are currently in use on Line J of the Transilien network. They were previously used on RER lines C and D, Transilien lines H and K as well as services between Gare de l'Est and Gare de Tournan, which became the RER E. Since 2012, the VB2N trains have been shifted from busier RER and Transilien lines to less busy routes on Transilien network as new equipment comes online, most notably the single-level Z 50000 "Francilian" and double-deck Regio 2N (Z 57000) trainsets. The VB2N trains are scheduled to be completely retired by the end of 2022. Description The VB2Ns are designed to be used in push-pull mode, although th ...
