LE PETIT TRAIN DE SAINT GILLES CROIX DE VIE

Welcome aboard!

Since 1993, in July and August "Les petits trains de Vendée" have been offering fun ways to discover the town of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie and its history.
Whether you're young or old, a family or a group of friends, become a passenger on our trains and take a gentle ride through our coastal landscapes.
For around 1 hour, enjoy a guided tour and a soundtrack to immerse yourself in our heritage.
Discover the town of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, with its lively fishing port, and then travel for over 3 km along the Corniche, lined with Belle Epoque villas, to the village of Sion.

All our trains are equipped with a roof, which is appreciated during the hottest hours, and a mackintosh in case of bad weather or cool evenings.
We offer a range of daytime and evening tourist attractions, so don't hesitate to consult our brochure or our website.
