The Yellow Train

The Yellow Train

Built at the turn of the century to open up the high Catalan plateaux, the railway line of the Yellow Train is the pride and symbol of a region of which it carries the colours.

“Le Train Jaune” goes along the Têt Valley from Villefranche-de-Conflent then crosses the Cerdagne from Mont-Louis to Latour-de-Carol.

in 63 km, the Yellow Train links Villefranche-de-Conflent to Latour-de- Carol and climbs 1200 m in height to the station of Bolquère, the highest in France.

its route is particularly attractive and one can discover between Villefranche-de-Conflent and Mont-Louis, the séjourné Viaduct suspended 65 metres above ground and the Gisclard Bridge at 80 metres above a precipice.
