About Petit train de la Rhune

The Little Train of Larrun (French: Petit train de la Rhune [pəti tʁɛ̃ də la ʁyn] or Chemin de fer de la Rhune, 'Larrun railway' [ʃəmɛ̃ də fɛʁ-]; Basque: Larrungo tren ttipia) is a metre gauge rack railway in France at the western end of the Pyrenees, in the French Basque Country. It links the Col de Saint-Ignace, some 10 km (6.2 mi) to the east of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, to the summit of the Larrun mountain (French: La Rhune). Although this summit lies on the border between France and Spain, the railway lies entirely within the French département of Pyrénées-Atlantiques.
