  Such a fun, family experience. It’s a 14 km (7 in one direction) route with a 15 min stop while going there. Electrical support really makes it easy and pleasant as first part is all up the hill. Going back is like a roller coaster ride with almost none work that had to be done. It took us about 2 hours in total. The only problem is that reservations are only via telephone so sharpen your French. We were in July and there are three courses daily : 9:30, 14:00 and 16:00.

  Great fun for all the family, no excess effort required due to the electric motor. Excellent staff, just have fun and mind the traffic at the level crossings. Do phone them to book and check how busy they are.

  This is so much fun! Prepare to spend 2 hours pedalling a railway buggy/vehicle on a disused section of railway track through woodland, over bridges, through tunnels, past abandoned stations and across country roads. Up to 5 people can ride each buggy with two people pedalling. The 5.5km route is predominantly uphill, but you are helped by an electric assistance motor, so even though you still have to pedal, it is much easier. After about 3 km you have a refreshments stop with ice cream and drinks and a pretty rudimentary toilet facility (we are in rural France after all) before continuing for another 2km. Then comes the really fun bit!! When you get to the end, your buggy is turned around and you head back to the start... downhill! Up to 30km an hour and not a lot of pedalling on the way back! The kids absolutely loved it and it wasn't that much of a workout if you used the electric assistance. Booking is essential (by phone), payment is cash only and there are 3 departures a day (10h30, 13h30, 16h30) but you MUST arrive 30 minutes before departure to pay, sign waivers and learn how to operate the buggy. Enjoy!
