AMTP or Association du Musée du Transport de Pithiviers, the first touristic line in continental europe. It’s a preserved 60cm gauge line in south of Paris. This line was laid on for commercial user, Tramway, but is mainly used for sugar beet transportation. A complete description could be found on the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramway_de_Pithiviers_%C3%A0_Toury.
Now some pictures:
