Embark on a tranquil nocturnal voyage from the heart of Paris to the enchanting canals of Venice. In this sleep story, you’ll step onto the grand platform of Gare de Lyon as twilight settles over the city, then glide through moonlit vineyards and gently rolling French countryside. Feel the carriage’s cosy embrace as it climbs into the silent Alps, where snow-tipped peaks glisten under a canopy of stars. Drift through shadowed Swiss valleys, lulled by the rhythmic click-clack of wheels, before a soft hint of Mediterranean air signals your approach into the peaceful lagoon city. With every gentle sway and hushed whisper, this story carries you deeper into calm, until at last you awaken (or drift away) enveloped in Venetian dawn.

What you’ll experience:

• A softly-spoken introduction to ease you into relaxation
• Vivid, sensory details of Paris at dusk, complete with ambient station sounds
• Rhythmic train-wheel lullabies as you journey through rural France and the Alps
• Serene mountain and valley scenes under starlit skies
• A gentle border-crossing into Italy
• A peaceful arrival at Venice Santa Lucia station, with salty lagoon breezes and pastel sunrise
• A final, soothing outro to guide you into deep, restorative sleep

Perfect for:

• Unwinding after a busy day
• Travellers longing for a virtual rail adventure
• Anyone seeking a peaceful bedtime ritual
