More information
On April 25, 1868, the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de la Seudre was created, and it would take years of negotiations, studies, fund-raising and war (1870-1871) before the line went into operation on August 28, 1875. At the time, it took 1h45 to travel from Pons to Royan. On April 8, 1876, the track was completed between Saujon and La Tremblade, by which time the line's stations had been completed, and on June 25 of the same year, the 10:20 a.m. train inaugurated the line!
