La Gare du Tacot, Theme park in Aillant-sur-Tholon, France.
La Gare du Tacot is a theme park in Aillant-sur-Tholon built on the grounds of a former railway station, featuring multiple rides and attractions for different age groups. The site combines amusement facilities with preserved railway structures that shape its overall character.
A narrow-gauge railway station operated at this location from 1901 to 1938, connecting the Morvan region with Paris as an important transportation link. After this railway line closed, the site later became a leisure park.
The park reflects the world of early 1900s railways through its design and decorations that evoke how people once traveled by train. Visitors can sense this historical period in the way the space is arranged and decorated.
The park is open Wednesday through Sunday from 14:00 to 22:00, with food services available throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be aware that crowds vary depending on the day of the week and season.
The site reuses original railway buildings as part of its current structure, including the station master's residence and a former technical warehouse. These authentic structures now serve different purposes within the park's operations.
