Train des Pignes

The steam train, nicknamed "Pine Cone Train" by the locals, travels daily between Nice and Digne-les-Bains, with a total length of 151 kilometers, and its first journey dates back to 1891. There are more than a dozen small town or country platforms along the way, and 70 large and small stations are enough for passengers to enjoy the beautiful area between the sea and the mountains. Along the route, you can see flocks of perched birds, spectacular canyons and lavender meadows. From the palms of the Riviera Côte d’Azur to the scent of thyme in the Haut Pays, from olive groves to the tops of snow-capped mountains, take in the views of the French countryside in one day.
