The Velay-Express is a historic train that allows you to discover the landscapes of Ardèche and Haute-Loire in complete tranquility. Raucoules station is one of the four stops offered.

Beautiful reservoir, the level is low currently because repairs are underway until 2026, but otherwise, it's a little Canada!
