All it takes is a little time and a few Euro. Well, we’re back to rail stories again, and that makes us happy. Unlike airports – and this should be obvious) which are typically located far outside urban areas, European train stations are almost universally situated right in the heart of cities and towns.


This means you step off the train and are immediately immersed in your destination, often within walking distance of major attractions, hotels, and public transport hubs. This saves significant time and money on airport transfers and enhances the overall efficiency of your trip. That’s all well and good, but the biggest thrill we think, is just being able to go slow, stop and smell the roses, and even treat yourself to a baguette or two
Which brings us to Chanteuges, a charming village in the Haute-Loire department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, offers a blend of historical heritage and natural beauty, making it ideal for those seeking a tranquil and authentic French experience. It’s everything you would want and as part of it, watch your pulse slow down, as well.


Chanteuges is a commune in the Haute-Loire department in south-central France.


What’s interesting about rail in Chanteuges, France, primarily revolves around its connection to the Train Touristique des Gorges de l’Allier (Tourist Train of the Allier Gorges) and the historical significance of the railway line it uses . . . and the town’s viaduct.
