“It’s not an April Fool’s joke,” laughed Charles Lamboley, president of the Mâcon tourist office. The little train has indeed been back since Wednesday. Even if it still remains active once a week, many dates have been added until August 30. “We have made sure that this season is more complete, rich and renewed,” explained Louis-Mickaël Grall, the director of the Mâcon tourist office.
A new pass between the little train and the Ursulines museum
“We created the little train and Ursulines museum pass,” demonstrated Louis-Mickaël Grall. Thanks to this, people will be able to visit the museum for an hour before taking the little train back to downtown Mâcon. » Tourists will even have the right to choose to visit several permanent collections at the museum. Based on the same principle as the Petit Train + Cité des Vins pass, this new pass can be reserved on the website or at the tourist office reception, located on Place Saint-Pierre, opposite the town hall.
The other novelty is found in the creation of Printemps express. “This consists of a one-hour guided walk, passing along the banks of the Saône, before stopping at the Château de Chatenay,” continued Oceane Carneiro, in charge of tourist development at the tourist office. The children will go on an egg hunt in the castle and taste the juice from the “Fruits of Burgundy†, while the adults will have the right to a wine tasting.†Other activities have been continued such as the walk to the Roche de Solutré and the visits guided.
Departures from Tuesday to Saturday between April 4 and June 20. Then departures from Monday to Saturday between June 22 and August 30. Printemps Express: departures at 10:30 a.m. or 3:30 p.m. from Place Saint-Pierre on April 8, 9, 14, 18 and 25.
