wagon-lit
Train sleeping car
A wagon-lit is a sleeping car on a European train—a railway carriage fitted with beds for overnight travel.
The term is French, literally "bed car," and appears in English primarily in historical or continental contexts: We booked a wagon-lit from Paris to Vienna.
Plural: wagons-lits.
