Created in 1984 at the request of the Conseil départemental des Hauts-de-Seine, theChemin de fer des Chanteraines association is celebrating its 40th anniversary with an exceptional weekend on May 9, 10, 11 and 12, 2024. It's a chance to (re)discover the association's railway heritage, with great entertainment for young and old, and historic locomotives brought in from France and Europe especially for the event.
For several decades, the association's volunteers have been managing, repairing, renovating and driving passengers on the Chemin de fer des Chanteraines, a unique attraction that runs for almost 5 kilometers through the large Parc des Chanteraines in Gennevilliers (92). So, to celebrate this anniversary, the association is organizing an exceptional long weekend over four days, with a host of original events: climb aboard the train pulled by the Vincent locomotive (a Decauville 020T) or a century-old steam locomotive, take a ride on the garden train, visit the hangar where all the railway equipment is maintained and, above all, meet a team of passionate volunteers. Throughout the day, climb aboard the train that runs on the Chanteraines railroad, discover how a locomotive is driven and take a seat on the platform to watch the train pass through the park!
