Heritage Day of the Lavières Tourist Train

At some point in its life, our Pétolat locomotive almost disappeared from the scrap heap.... By chance and luck, we learned of its existence in the 1970s and were able to purchase it. Restoring it to its former glory has been a long and difficult process. Getting it listed as a historic monument was complicated.
This locomotive is an important and unique piece in the history of the Pétolat company in Dijon in the Cote d'Or, which employed up to 1,200 people.
This Sunday 17 September, on Heritage Day, it will be proud to show off all its finery and tell you all about its history.... And if you're interested, she'll be giving you a ride on a carriage for a fun little tour.
