Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme

The railway network spans 27 kilometers of meter-gauge track connecting coastal towns Le Crotoy, Noyelles-sur-Mer, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, and Cayeux-sur-Mer.

Established in 1887 as part of the Seaside Resorts Network, the railway served local communities by transporting agricultural products, galets, and passengers between coastal settlements.

The railway preserves French industrial heritage through its collection of operational steam locomotives, vintage carriages, and traditional railway buildings from the 19th century.

Trains operate from March to December with regular services between stations, offering visitors transportation through the Somme Bay landscape and nature reserves.

The railway maintains both standard and meter gauge tracks at Noyelles-sur-Mer station, allowing traditional trains to operate alongside national railway services.
