The steam train of Rillé

The steam train of Rillé à RILLE © Leonard de Serres 7

The historic train of Rillé will take you back to the charming time of the old departmental railroads which formerly crossed our countryside. Old cars and locomotives have been restored by the volunteers of our association. The line follows the banks of the Lake Rillé, through woods and groves. Next to the departure platform, you will find a large car park, a picnic area, a playground for children and a campsite.
