Fantastic 4 on the train
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington… 700 km separate the four major cities on the East Coast.
Rather than the road, let's opt for the train.
The Amtrack is fast and comfortable.
Departure from Boston, the cradle of America and a real movie set (from the
infiltrators
to
Mystic River
).
We reach the unmissable Big Apple in four hours.
Then it will be Philadelphia (1h30 by train) to fill up on art museums, wall frescoes, good restaurants.
Terminus in Washington, which alternates green spaces, cobbled streets and a certain white house.

We too often forget the Great Lakes region (Michigan, Huron, Superior, etc.).
Error made up for with the Back Roads agency, which offers a 17-day circuit so as not to miss anything of this America so well described by Jim Harrison.
There is of course Chicago, a laboratory of contemporary American architecture, on the shores of Lake Michigan.
But we will also get to know Milwaukee and its art museum signed Calatrava, Minneapolis on the banks of the Mississippi, Duluth where Bob Dylan was born, Nappanee where the Amish live.
Without forgetting “Motor City” or Detroit, which is experiencing a great renaissance.
