Chemin de Fer du Vivarais SNC

The railway stretches 33 kilometers through the Doux valley, featuring narrow-gauge tracks alongside steep rocky cliffs and dense forests.

The railway began operations in 1891, connecting Tournon-sur-Rhône to Lamastre, with construction taking four years to complete through challenging terrain.

The railway preserves traditional French railway heritage through its collection of 27 historical vehicles, including Mallet steam locomotives from the early 1900s.

The train operates daily during July and August, with weekend services in September and October, departing from Saint-Jean-de-Muzols station.

The railway crosses three distinct viaducts over the River Doux, offering views of the valley at speeds of 25 kilometers per hour.
