From Anduze station to Saint-Jean-du-Gard (or vice versa), passing through La Bambouseraie, this tortillard offers a 13 km journey through the heart of the Cévennes Piedmont, between bridges and tunnels, over the Gardon river. A tourist journey punctuated by the legendary teuf-teuf of this machine from another age, tossed about in panoramic wagons in the open air. Special events are sometimes held on board, as well as escape games. A popular way to take in the scenery.

Par contre si vous avez des enfants évitez la tête de train car vous serez tout noir
Conseil: se renseigner par avance des horaires pour avoir la chance d'emprunter la locomotive à vapeur et de pouvoir faire l'aller-retour dans la journée tout en profitant des charmes de ces 2 villes.

Un conseil éviter de se mettre près d'une fenêtre car lors du passage dans le tunnel,la fumée y est concentrée et revient dans les wagons
