Train des Pignes

Legend has it that the train was used to pick pinecones. It's interesting to walk around the mountains. It's really enjoyable to see many towns that want to stop and live near the mountains and rivers.

The Pinecone Train is an ancient steam train. Whenever a steam train passes through a tunnel, the windows must be closed. You can take a train to Pinecone, a fairly quiet French village, with more medieval buildings on the mountains, and a suspension bridge and a castle.

The pinecone train is from Nice, France, to Dielleban, the hinterland of the Alps. The whole journey lasts three and a half hours. It is high and stony in the mountains of the Alps. It passes through villages, rivers and rivers. Although the pinecone train is not long, the car is beautiful and the seats inside are comfortable. The pinecone train will transfer to one of the stations later. Bus, because the mountain trains inside have not passed, so it was replaced by cars, small train tickets are more than 20 Euros, very worthwhile to ride.

The pinecone train's first trip dates back to 1891. More than 100 years later, the steam locomotive was still in operation, and the humble rural station was still the same. The pinecone train runs from Nice to Digne-les-Bains in the hinterland of Provence, with a total length of 151 kilometers and a speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour. The train traverses or spans more than 50 tunnels, bridges and viaducts. Stop along the way to more than a dozen towns, you can not only enjoy mountains and rivers, but also choose Entrevaux medieval castle and other places to visit. In July and August, you can also see a large area of lavender in Dinnerban.
