Little Trains of the Pyrenees

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to our overnight hotel in the Paris area.

In the morning, we enjoy breakfast and then continue our journey from France to Roses, where we stay for the next six nights

This morning is at leisure for you to begin your own exploration of the town. Roses is a modern town with excellent shopping, restaurants and bars. Located on the northern edge of the Costa Brava, it is home to some of the most attractive but least crowded beaches in the area.

This afternoon we board the charming Roses Express (little town train), with its iconic colourful tractor-style engine, and experience the beautiful Cap de Creus Nature Park, where we can admire the impressive sea views.

Today we spend a day in France with our local guide. We head to Villefranche, where it’s all aboard the Yellow Train for an unforgettable journey through the Pyrenees. We leave the train in the small mountain village of Mont Louis and rejoin our coach for the journey back to Roses.

*During April and October the Yellow Train may not operate for maintenance reasons. On this occasion a visit to Lake Banyoles for a boat trip and to Besalu for the little town train will be included.

Today we enjoy an included guided excursion on the Rack Railway up to the Sanctuary of Núria.

Located in the Eastern Pyrenees, the mountain resort of Vall de Núria sits high above the Ribes Valley. Breathtaking scenery awaits as we climb more than 100 metres over the 12-kilometre journey.

We enjoy a fantastic train ride today on the Train du pays Cathere et du Fenouillèdes (also known as the Red Train). Part of this historic railway has been in operation since 1901, and we journey to the pretty town of Axat. Enjoy some free time here before we head back to Roses by coach.

This small town now attracts visitors from all over the world thanks to its association with the artist Salvador Dali, whose weird and wonderful surrealist works of art can be viewed in the Dali Museum.

We visit this marvellous museum during our time here to admire the artist’s famous creations.

Time to bid a fond farewell to Roses today as we make our way to our overnight hotel in the Paris area.
