The voiture État, nicknamed hen-house due to is numerous windows is a type of railway passenger car.

These cars disposed of an indestructible chassis below a wooden frame and equipped with a door for each compartment.

488 cars were modernised from 1952 to 1961 with a replacement metallic frame in replacement of the wooden one as well as the construction of a central corridor.

Only a very few coaches remain in preservation, most of which at Pont-Erambourg.
