Yellow Train in the French Pyrenees
What is the highest train ride in France? The charming Yellow Train in the French Pyrenees or “Le Train Jaune” as they say in French. The Yellow Train is not just a tourist train, but a regular train that has been running for over 100 years.
The Yellow Train is perfect for family travel to explore the Pyrenees. We loved the colorful conductor and these ladies dressed as they would be if they took the train when it began.
When we stayed in beautiful Colliore we did this as a day trip via train and took this unique Yellow train from Villefranche de Conflent to the Unesco World Heritage Site, Mont-Louis which was built by the famous French architect, Vauban.
Unesco World Heritage Site Villefranche de Conflent is a gorgeous medieval village with charming stone houses and the views are are quite spectacular during the ride in this train with it’s bright Catalan colors with some open topped cars. A perfect day trip to escape the heat and enjoy nature, small villages and the charms of yesteryear.
