Bonjour France Podcast
The Little Yellow Train, or Le Train Jaune, is a historic meter-gauge railway that traverses the Catalan Pyrenees in southern France. Spanning 63 kilometers, this engineering feat connects medieval Villefranche-de-Conflent to the high plateau of Latour-de-Carol, climbing over 1,200 meters in elevation. Travelers experience a leisurely journey through rugged terrain featuring nineteen tunnels and iconic structures like the Pont Gisclard suspension bridge. The line serves as both a cultural symbol of the Occitanie region and a gateway to outdoor activities, including hiking and visiting UNESCO World Heritage fortifications. Today, the railway is a celebrated eco-friendly tourist attraction powered by hydroelectricity, offering panoramic views from unique open-air carriages. Provisions for planning include advice on seasonal travel, ticket booking through the SNCF network, and highlights of the twenty-two stations along the route.
