Very beautiful village and a wonderful setting with the mountains surrounding it.

It's blowing in the parade, watch out

Nice climb, with short sections that are a bit steeper, but also lead through a breathtaking rock formation.

The association "Le petit train du Picodon" wants to rebuild a vintage passenger car. See here: https://www.le-petit-train-du-picodon.fr/aidez-a-restaurer-le-petit-train-du-picodon/

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.

The station at Le Poët-Laval is no bigger than a small shelter. But this modest building is the nucleus of a new settlement called Gougne. This district was created mainly because of the railway line from Montélimar to Dieulefit, the Le Petit Train du Picodon (1893-1936). It transported people and goods, mainly products from the local ceramics industry. During the First World War, this station was also a transshipment point for the transport of artillery shells.

The Vallée du Jabron meanders through the heart of the western foothills of the French Alps, tightly embraced by mountains to the north and south. The Petit Train du Picodon once ran through the countryside from 1893 to 1936, a train that exuded more romance than speed at just under 15 km/h. The valley, which is very narrow between La Bégude-de-Mazenc and Le Poët-Laval, widens out here in both directions. Part 8 of the Petit Train du Picodon bike tour.
