Did you know?
Mézidon station has quite a history!
Situated on the route of one of France’s very first railroad lines, for a century and a half the town lived and breathed railway life. First welcoming Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie for the inauguration of the Paris-Cherbourg line in 1858, Mézidon subsequently underwent significant development, in line with that of rail transport. It became a major marshalling yard, serving the seaside resorts of the Manche region, as well as a real railway town, housing SNCF wagon repair workshops.
Since then, links to Paris, Cherbourg and Le Mans have been modernized. Mézidon’s former railway activities have left a legacy of economic dynamism and a warm welcome.
