Patrimoine ferroviaire Train des Mouettes

On April 25, 1868, the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de la Seudre was created, which took years of negotiations, studies, research for financing and war (1870-1871), before putting it into operation on August 28, 1875. At the time, it took 1h45 to connect Pons to Royan. On April 8, 1876, the track was completed between Saujon and La Tremblade, time to complete the line's stations, and on June 25 of the same year the 10:20 a.m. train inaugurated the start of the line!
