The Cévennes Steam Train is a tourist train that runs between Anduze and Saint-Jean-du-Gard in the Cévennes.
It usually serves three stations: Anduze, Saint-Jean-du-Gard, Bambouseraie de Parafrance, and sometimes stops at Thoiras.
In 1879, the Gardoise line was a project of the Paris to Lyon and Mediterranean Railway Company (PLM) but it took all the conviction of René Boudon, banker and spinner, then mayor and general councillor, for the project to become a reality.
The line was inaugurated on 26 May 1909 by René Boudon and operated for passenger and freight traffic.
The 1939-1945 war led to a reduction in passenger traffic, then in 1971, the SNCF stopped everything.
But in 1986, the Citev (International Company of Express Steam Trains) resumed operation of the Cévennes steam train.
