Vélorail du Bazois, Tourist train in Château-Chinon, France.
The Vélorail du Bazois is a rail bike attraction in the Morvan region where visitors pedal on wheeled vehicles designed to run on railway tracks. The route follows former railway lines through countryside with forests and fields, offering both shorter and longer options.
The route uses railway tracks built in the early 20th century to connect small towns and villages across the Burgundy region. When the line closed, the infrastructure was later converted into this leisure activity.
This rail bike experience introduces visitors to the Morvan Natural Regional Park's landscapes, connecting them with local heritage and nature observation.
Wear closed shoes with good grip since pedaling requires balance and foot control on the track. The activity demands steady physical effort, particularly on the longer route, though riders of various fitness levels can participate.
The vehicles feature electric motors that provide pedal assistance when riders grow tired. This makes the experience accessible to people of various ages and fitness levels without removing the physical engagement.
