discover the train from Ardèche to Saint-Jean-de-Muzols

Winding at 25 km/h in the narrow Gorges du Doux, it is the only way to admire the wild landscapes.

After 4 years of construction, the line was inaugurated in 1891

Since then, mechanics, drivers and conductors have been repeating the same gestures to ensure the movement of trains. In 1969, the line was reserved solely for tourist trips to discover inaccessible landscapes.

The exhaust of steam and the whistles of the locomotive punctuate the journey. At each arrival, the 44-ton machine is returned by force of arms! Several trips are offered on the 28 km of the line. By car please, be careful at the start!

The Train de l'Ardèche offers an incomparable spectacle on the historic line of the Chemin de Fer du Vivarais, linking Tournon-sur-Rhône to Lamastre.
