Please get off everyone! The two-hour train journey from Montélimar ended here in Dieulefit - average speed an exhilarating 15 km/h! Jokes aside: on these few kilometers along the Jabron river, there is a difference in altitude of almost 300 meters. The station building here is a lot bigger than those in La Bégude-de-Mazenc or Le Poët-Laval. The two distinctive trees in front of the building were already there at the time. Compare the postcard view on the building with the view today! Since 2011, the station has been home to an association whose mission is to preserve the history of the train line for posterity (https://www.le-petit-train-du-picodon.fr/).

A grand avenue in the middle of a village? This Allée des Promenades, surrounded by plane trees, marks the last few meters of the Le Petit Train du Picodon railway line. This street, which is relatively large for such a small village, was still surrounded on both sides by large villas and private parks at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, you don't see much of that anymore: large bushes block the view of the large properties. Part 11 of the Petit Train du Picodon bike tour.
