Avoid coastal traffic and parking challenges by traveling aboard the Chemin de Fer de la Baie de Somme (CFBS). This historic narrow-gauge railway network operates authentic Belle Époque steam locomotives and vintage diesel carriages linking the principal coastal settlements of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Le Crotoy, and Cayeux-sur-Mer.

Riding the train provides scenic vantage points across the salt meadows that are inaccessible by road. You can bring bicycles onboard in the luggage van for a nominal fee, allowing you to cycle one direction along coastal paths and return leisurely on the steam train. Pre-booking tickets online during peak summer weekends is essential, as departures routinely sell out.
