Where bicycles and trains meet, there's the velorail! Lovers of the Chemin de fer de Bon-Repos have revived a line that was closed in 1967, restoring the section between the former Gouarec station and Bon-Repos Abbey, and putting these hybrid machines into circulation. Two people pedal each one, while two others relax and enjoy the scenery. The 9.6 km round trip takes 1h30. A vintage train runs on certain Sundays, taking you to the Sunday market at the Abbaye de Bon Repos. Accommodation is now also available.

The journey is about 4.5km each way, partly uphill on the way out and down hill back. There is a chance to have a rest at the far end as they turn round the velorails on a turntable. However it's not too strenuous to peddle, even up hill, so suitable for most.
After the starting station, the route is part shaded by trees, so out of the main heat of the sun in summer.
Owners very friendly and welcoming. They explained to us in English how to use the velorail and the simple rules.
There are only ten velorails on each 'timeslor' so advance booking is strongly recommended - all three velorail 'outings' were fully booked the day we visited in early August. Website easy to use in both French and English to book and pay. Good value as the cost is per velorail, not per person - a Velorail can be a maximum of two people peddling and two passengers.
The adjacent small town of Gouarec is pretty and worth a visit roo.
Très bien accueilli et bien expliqué.
Jolie petite gare ????
Petite chose juste sa manque électrique parce que le retour tu sens bien les jambes mes sa va ????
