An event train from Béziers reached Millau on Saturday October 12 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Millau station.
This was the other big meeting around mobility this weekend. Saturday October 12, an event train from Béziers reached the town of Millau. An event linked to the 150 years of the Cité du Gant station and the Causses line, which allows travelers to reach Béziers in Neussargues.
Welcome with fanfare
It is a few minutes to noon when the first passengers pass through the station doors. For the occasion, the In’VD association – which organized its Vélorution on the same day – assured them a joyful and musical welcome. After symbolically blowing out the candles and inaugurating a homemade panel for the 150th anniversary of the structure, a large part of the procession headed towards the village hall, at Victoire Park.

Visits to the territory
And for good reason, the Farmers of Aveyron, present all weekend in Millau for the 30th anniversary of the autumn fair, offered a glass of friendship to the travelers. A convivial moment followed during the afternoon by several visits organized by the Millau Grands Causses tourist office. “There were 220 reservations and two thirds of people came, the heavy rains underway in Hérault at the same time prevented some from coming”underlines the director of OT Arnaud Vaultier.
Local tourism
A getaway in South Aveyron that some of the travelers present could well repeat in the future. Like Véronique and Pascal, who came from around Bédarieux. “We are not used to taking the train because accessibility for people with reduced mobility can sometimes be problematic, but from Bédarieux to Millau it’s great,” notes the Héraultaise. Opinion shared for his companion, who is surprised “that there are not more people using this train, for us in any case it is an idea that we will keep to come back with our families and friends”.
