CHEMIN DE FER DE LA BAIE DE SOMME
Go there and contact
A steam locomotive that takes us between seaside resorts, through fields and marshes: a successful journey through time!
The Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme takes us back a century, to the days when it ran the Réseau des Bains de Mer, linking the towns of Le Crotoy, Noyelles-sur-Mer, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and Cayeux-sur-Mer. The steam locomotive takes you between the seaside resorts, along willow-lined streams, past fields and marshes. On-board dining is available in the dining cars.

Si vous le pouvez, préférez un voyage pendant l'été, balade plus longue et plus sympa, et profitez en pour visiter le dépot CFBS du Crotoy.
Un conseil, organisez votre voyage aller-retour en fonction des marées pour voir le paysage avec et sans eau.

Quelques conseils : on ne voit la baie qu'entre St Valéry et Noyelles. La partie Noyelles-Le Crotoy est peu intéressante. On ne voit que des champs.
L'idéal est de changer de côté au retour car il y a beaucoup de choses à voir des deux côtés des rails, au niveau de la baie s'entend.
Y aller une bonne demie heure à l'avance pour prendre les billets et pouvoir choisir sa place.
Les derniers trains de la journée dans les deux sens peuvent être assez bondés.
Toilettes gratuites à la petite gare de St Valery.
Sur la gauche en partant de St Valery, de très beaux anciens wagons.
A Saint Valery, la locomotive change de sens sur une plateforme tournante.
