Jonzjob Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 A bit later in the spring 4 of us, all adults, and our chocolate labrador are planning to take a trip on the Little Yellow Train. What we would like to do is to drive over from Carcassonne the day before stay overnight, have a nice dinner and breakfast and take the train in the morning. We are willing to put a deposit down, not from our dog, to cover any possibilities. Not that there will be any, but just to put minds at rest.Edit :- It has just dawned on me that I have not said that we are looking for B&B, preferably with the evening meal! What a silly bily I am!Is there anyone in that area that can help us please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 There is a nice B and B Barry & Sharon PhelanA l'ombre du fort2 Rue Sainte EulalieVillefranche de Conflent66500, France Tel: +33 (0)4 68 97 16 53Cell: +33 (0)6 88 23 26 71 Email: barry@activityholidayfrance.comHowever. Have you thought of going the other way? Start at Mont Louis (which is closer to Carcassone ) ? I am not sure the timings will work though.Good luckJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I will see about getting in touch with Barry & Sharron, but if anyone has any info on the tripI would be very greatful. Things like is it possible to get lunch on the trip, what is the best clothing to take (I have been told that it can get quite cool up at the top?) and any other info that will help it to be a lovely day out.Thank you for the contact Owen!

Kathy Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I haven't been on the train but visited Font Romeau in summer. It was 27 degrees down on the plain and 6 degrees up there. I would suggest wrapping up for the journey. As far as I am aware you can get on and off the train but the timings need scrutiny. Here is some info, sorry if you already have this.http://www.trainstouristiques-ter.com/train_jaune_anglais.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonzjob Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Thank you for that link Kathy. I have heard about the temp changes before and have heard the same about going to Andora to! We would probably go end to end as my mate is a train NUT, involved with a narrow guage line near Southhampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llantony Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Lovely dog!We found a lovely B & B in nearby Prades. Went there a couple of years ago, specifically to go on the Little Yellow Train. There were long queues as it was August so we took the first train next day - it was still dark when we left and we were the only people on it. Saw eagles close up.Try www.sawdays.co.uk for B & Bs. I thought that was how we found ours but it isn't on the site now.Have a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You can break your journey. We started at VFdeC and had lunch at Mont Louis then continued further up beyond font romeu. However beware of timings. There are covered cars. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
