A perfect way of discovering the industrial and railway history of Le Creusot and admiring the famous steam locomotive 241P17l, now heritage listed.
This community park was created in the 1980’s by a bunch of volunteers passionate about rehabilitating the « Tacot des Crouillottes » , the railway that played a major role in conveying industrial goods from the Schneider factories. The good thing is that all the family can join without everyone having to purchase a ticket. Parents, grandparents and tiny ones can come along for free if they are only accompanying.
