This place, near to the town of Saint-Fargeau, is at the western end of our network (see the diagram of the line on the " historic"
page). On standby of rehabilitation of the track, the section going from Toucy to Saint-Fargeau cannot be exploited regularly and this point
can be reached only at the time of exceptional demonstrations with specific authorizations of circulation. The day of the Inheritance of
1999 was the last occasion at this time.
