Tramway du Cap-Ferret

The Tramway du Cap-Ferret (French pronunciation: [tʁamwɛ dy kap fɛʁɛ]), also known as the Petit train du Cap-Ferret ([pəti tʁɛ̃ dy-]), is a 600 mm (1 ft 11+5⁄8 in) narrow gauge railway on the Atlantic coast of France in the department of Gironde.

The tramway is situated on the Cap Ferret, a peninsular that which divides the Atlantic Ocean from Arcachon Bay, and links the shores of the bay with the beaches on the Atlantic coast.

[2] The line is some 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) long and connects the beach at Plage de l'horizon on the Atlantic coast with the jetty at Jetée de Bélisaire on Arcachon Bay.

[1][3] Trains are operated by open-sided coaches hauled by diesel locomotives, and the line is largely situated along the road side.

[1][2] At the beach terminus, remains of the Atlantic Wall can be seen.
