1st/2nd-class open-room/compartment USI car (A2t2B2t3).
It was originally arranged as a 1st class-only car (A4t4), with 2 small saloons at both ends and 4 compartments in-between.
In the mid-80s, half of it was declassified, which made this car the most diverse type running in France, with Open-room and compartment seating available in both classes.
This is one the two 1st-class saloon compartment, which has pretty comfortable seats, notwithstanding the old-fashioned ambiance...
1st-class compartments of UIC-Y cars are very similar.
