‘Discovery’ Special Offer – Saturday 24 October: €99.00 – €89.00*
Step aboard the Bocq Gourmand – Autumn Flavours and take the time to enjoy a unique experience combining gastronomy, railway heritage and a journey through the heart of the Bocq Valley.
Settle into the warm, nostalgic atmosphere of our historic train and let the journey begin. Beyond the windows, the landscapes of the valley and the colours of autumn slowly pass by, while on board you enjoy a seasonal meal, served with care by our team of volunteers.
More than simply a meal aboard a train, the Bocq Gourmand is an invitation to slow down, enjoy the scenery and share a convivial moment in a truly unusual setting.
A gourmet railway escape out of time, offering a different way to discover the Chemin de Fer du Bocq and its heritage.
The Bocq Gourmand – Autumn Flavours runs between Bauche, Spontin and Ciney. The meal is served throughout the journey.
