The UEFA EURO 2016 Trophy Tour train opened its doors to the general public on Saturday.
The tour, which on Friday was officially inaugurated in the presence of local personalities, UEFA representatives and Saint-Denis ambassador Steve Marlet, will now spend two days at Gare de Lyon in Paris before going on to visit 25 cities in France.
After touring the city on Friday before being exhibited in front of the Basilique Saint-Denis, the Trophy Tour train then travelled to Gare de Lyon.
The train is made up of four carriages. The first one offers visitors the chance to have their photo taken with the trophy, while the second contains a EURO museum comprising photos, videos, shirts and more. The third carriage will be the 'David Guetta recording studio', where fans can play their part in recording the official tournament song. In the last carriage, there will be an exhibition of all previous EURO mascots and some secrets will be revealed about this year's incarnation, Super Victor.
The train will spend three days in each of the UEFA EURO 2016 host cities, as well as two days at all other stops. On day one in each city, the trophy travels round before being installed in the train. It remains in the station for two days, with visitors welcome from 09.00CET to 18.00CET.
