The Baie de Somme Steam Railway

A journey out of time

Aboard genuine Belle Époque carriages hauled by steam locomotives, the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme links Saint-Valery-sur-Somme to Le Crotoy by way of Noyelles, as well as Cayeux-sur-Mer. It is an unforgettable way to discover the bay, its salt meadows and its ever-changing landscapes.

An outing for everyone

Families and lovers of fine scenery alike enjoy this gentle run through the marshes, where you may spot sheep, birds and old hunting huts. In season, dinner services let you enjoy the sunset over the bay.
