3 km from Anduze: cross the river (east), turn left on the D129.

Location: Bamousseraie de Prafrance, 30140 Générargues.

This area is accessable without the entrance payment. A large sales area near the exit has an extensive range of plants for sale, not all of them bamboo. A large stone villa in the center of the park has plaques on the wall marking the heights of the floods of 19 the earlier mark is about 3 m up the wall. There's also a bamboo forest, a plant maze and Victorian greenhouses. The Cevennes steam railway has a stop at the Bambouseraie, with the tracks crossing over the top of the park on an old stone viaduct, mostly hidden by the tall bamboo.Ī walking tour of the park is supposed to take 1h30, but we took considerbly longer. Part of the park includes a Laotien village, with characteristic bamboo houses on stilts, and even some fat old Laotien pigs. Some of the bamboo is amazingly high, but there are also sequoias (coast redwoods) towering even higher, along the main walkway. Here you'll find walkways through towering bamboo jungles filtering the sunlight to a cool yellow-green tint. Called a Jardin botanique, or Parc exotique, it's also more than that. The Bambouseraie is much more than a garden.

Cevennes Steam Website - Train schedules are based on high and low seasons, but this doesn't affect the cost.

For the eve of Bastille Day, a Fireworks night train runs on 13 July.

Every October there's a Chestnut day train and, of course, a Halloween Weekend train.A Wine Harvest themed train runs in September.There are special event trains every year. Schedules of the Cevennes Steam Train allow an easy round-trip voyage, even with a very long stop at either end, Saint Jean-du-Gard or Anduze. There's handy parking here, and great shop that sells local products. Just 1 km from the D907 roundabout, southeast towards Anduze, there's another, smaller, viaduct crossing the road, just before the train goes across the river. You can watch from the roadside, or climb up an embankment (like we did) to watch the steam train come out of the tunnel to cross the viaduct. You can park anywhere around there, because it's only 100 m around the bend where a long railway viaduct crosses the road. Instead of taking the D907 NW towards St-Jean-du-Gard or SE towards Anduze, follow the D57 road that curves west and south from the roundabout. The route by road between Anduze and St-Jean-du-Gard is about 14 km, along the D907, and there are a couple of good places along the route where you can stop and watch the steam train pass by.Įxactly half way between the two towns, the D907 crosses the river and there's a roundabout on the south side. The Bambouseraie station is very picturesque, sitting high above the gardens, yet still shrouded by tall trees and bambou. This isn't a station where start the journey, but a stop where you can get off to visit the gardens, and get back on another train to continue the trip. The Bambouseraie is a bambou-themed botanical garden located two kilometers north of Anduze. A wide expanse with many parallel sidings is great for taking pictures of the trains.

St-Jean-du-Gard station, located across the river just south of the town center, is the 'home' of the trains, where locomotives and the colorful railway cars are stored when not in use. The route from town out to the railway station passes through the pretty Cordeliers Park - good motivation for taking a walk.

The train emerges from a tunnel just at the entrance to the station, and there are some high-up places you can stand for a great view.

If you're visiting in either Anduze or St-Jean-du-Gard and don't have the time (or the inclination) to take a train trip, you should still to along to the station to have a look, especially around the time a train is departing or arriving.Īnduze station ( gare d'Anduze) is the most picturesque of the two.
