The Granville-Avranches-Sourdeval tramway was a 71 km (44 mi) long 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+38 in) gauge railway from Condé-sur-Vire via Granville to Avranches in the Manche department of the Normandy region, which operated from 1908 to 1935.

History

[edit]

The line opened in 1908, at a similar time as the Condé-Granville tramway and the Coutances-Lessay metre gauge railway. These lines were operated by the Société des Chemins de Fer de la Manche (CFM) until 1935.[6][7]
