Yannick Lemesle, driver for 33 years and owner of the little train since 1997, will be happy to take you on a tour of Chartres.
During the day, the walk is made up of historical anecdotes about the lower town and lasts around 35 minutes. At night, it crosses the animations of Chartres in lights in 45 minutes.

A preferred mode of visit by tourists
Marie-Pierre, first visit to Chartres
Marie-Pierre, originally from Finistère, spent a day in Chartres. To optimize her visit, she decided to board the train. This allowed him to quickly discover the city and know where to return in the afternoon. She loved discovering the banks of the Loir which were still in bloom at that time.
What he also really liked was the originality and humor of Yannick Lemesle.
A visit accessible to all
The group of the intermunicipal social center of 77 in the little train
The day’s walk begins on the cathedral forecourt, runs along the Butte des Charbonniers, then rushes into the lower town.
The intercommunal social center of 77 has undertaken an intergenerational visit to Chartres. “The little train is perfect for older people who wouldn’t enjoy the descent to the lower town on foot as much.”
This group was able to make a reservation in the morning for the seniors and in the afternoon for the younger ones.
