Our trip to the little yellow train. French pyrenese

[normanandsue]

This is our first full day in France after a night sailing. We stayed at Gravelines this morning before going on to shop for food then coming here - Nunce Hautecore a lovely aire with water ehu on each plot free WiFi and fresh eggs for sale.
Will stay all day tomorrow to allow our minds and bodies catch up before continuing South

Have pics but can't see how to upload them

We rode on the train last Autumn, absolutely loved it. We had booked before we arrived only to discover that the day we were booked to travel, it was closed and the train was replaced by a bus. Chatted to the lady in the ticket office, who in turn chatted to the conductor, who then let us go on the train that day using the tickets that we had bought for the next day

The town of Villefranche-de-Confluent, where the train starts is lovely and well worth a visit

We tried it once but it broke down a hundred yards up the line. Haven't tried it since.

Assuming you are using a phone to connect to fun and used the phone to take pics......
At the bottom left of the reply box is 'attach files' and a paper clip..... Click it then select the pics you want to upload one at a time.
Follow instructions.
If you took them on a camera you need to upload them to a hosting website....photobucket etc..... then do as above.

 

[normanandsue]

Thanks pappajohn come to my rescue once again

Family scout L . Not many made almost exclusively for U K market
Or so I have been told

Yesterday's journey round the south of Paris was a nightmare 3 shunts that we passed reducing traffic in 4 lanes to a crawl. (Don't ask why we went that way)
We found an adequate overnight stop with facilities at Milet en Foret before travelling on today. The day is getting hotter 38 degrees in mh and 35 degrees in the streetbut we have found a shady spot beneath the trees and by a stream in La Motte - Beuvron centre.
The fridge is going into overdrive trying to cope with the heat.
The weather is forecast to get hotter as the week goes on so as we are only 6 hours driving from our destination we shall make haste slowly

Know exactly where you are as we have stopped there quite a few times.
The sound of the fountains splashing always seems to make it feel cooler.

Travelled on it a week ago,,Stayed on the car park at the station overnight.Make sure you visit the town.Enjoyed the train but not a scenic as we hoped..Weather was perfect,,BUSBY.

 

[normanandsue]

We have travelled on the little yellow train it was wonderful and exactly what I expected. Well worth the drive down.
Have learned SNCF want to close the line
So it is in its final days.

Looks lovely, bit depressing to see the graffiti on the engine though

Sadly Graffiti is rife in the area but it did not spoil the ride
