From Saint-Charles to Salon without changing trains

Families of air force cadets, visitors to the base, business travellers: the 8-seat Van takes everyone in one go.

For an insignia ceremony at the Air Force Academy, families often arrive together: the 8-seat Van takes them from the station to the base entrance, then on to the restaurant.
