Tacot des Lacs

Tacot des Lacs is a miniature railway park that takes visitors on a journey through lakes and forest in the Seine-et-Marne region. The train follows a winding path through natural landscapes at a gentle pace, offering views of the surrounding area.

The park preserves a collection of locomotives that includes engines used in World War I for military supply operations on front lines. These machines show how small-gauge railways played a practical role during wartime.

The train conductors share local railway knowledge during tours, explaining technical aspects and regional transportation developments through guided depot visits.

The park opens on weekend afternoons from April through November and offers a train ride combined with a visit to the locomotive depot. Visitors should come prepared for outdoor activities since much of the experience takes place outside.

Some of the trains use solar power, showing how modern technology blends with historic machines on the same tracks. This approach creates a place where old and new railway systems coexist.
