A train line linked Château-Renault to Port-Boulet via Neuvy-le-Roi and Bourgueil from 1885 to 1949. You can walk on a part of the railroad line passing also in the Rue de la gare au Boulay, which takes its name from this period.
The nickname "Pain Sec" (dry bread) was given to the train because it was said that the train that ran on it was so slow, about 20 kilometers per hour, that the bread bought in Château-Renault arrived dry in La Ferrière!
Visible at the Hallaut in Monthodon.
