Velo-Rail

About

Vélo‑Rail offers a charming way to explore the rural landscapes of the Pays de Saint‑Gilles‑Croix‑de‑Vie. Riders pedal along a historic 7‑kilometre railway track that winds between Commequiers and Coëx, enjoying soft hills and lush vegetation in a family‑friendly setting. The round‑trip journey takes approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, making it a leisurely yet invigorating adventure suited for all ages. The attraction is especially popular with families and small groups; group rates are available from four draisines, and the cars comfortably seat two to four riders (plus an optional child under 12). The activity is entirely pedal‑powered, offering a gentle and ecological experience that captures the charm of old rail travel. Booking is required and can be done online or by phone. The official reservation page provides details on pricing, availability, and the necessary safety guidelines—from minimum rider height to restrictions on pets and infants—ensuring a safe and memorable ride for every visitor.
