DID YOU KNOW?

This locomotive was used in the famous film “The 7th Company” 🎬

The history of the locomotive

Built in 1919, this 140 C38 locomotive was used during the First World War.

It was also seized by the Germans during the Second World War and returned to France in 1950.

Restored over a period of more than 15 years by the C.F.T.L.P association (Conservatoire Ferroviaire Territoires Limousin Périgord), a team of enthusiasts, it is now their pride and joy!

A unique experience

During the journey?

You can enjoy the scenery as it unfolds, accompanied by explanations of what you’ll be discovering along the way: there’s plenty to learn about your destination!

The theatre troupe “Les Baladins du Limousin” is also on hand to set the mood in the carriages, offering a change of scenery and transporting you straight back to days gone by!

A little bonus: there’s a souvenir shop in one of the carriages, with lovely staff, and the charm of the era can be found in every nook and cranny of the locomotive: a unique experience, thoroughly enjoyed by passengers!
