Hi all,

Last march I did a road trip to the south of france. At various times i tried to get into Grasse, Eze and La Turbie, buty I can honestly say that I couldn't find a square metre in which to park the car.

We'll be going to the Monaco historique again in a couple of years time, and I got to thinking that you can see railway lines on Autoroute. I fancy a trip up into the mountains next time, and the train would give a unique view of the alpes maritimes, as well as not having the hassle of parking when you get there.

Does anyone know anything about these lines, where to get on, where to get off, advice on trip planning, recommendations, even restaurants near to stations, that sort of thing?

Its something I fancy exploring.

You can find a good idea from here:

This is an interactive map when you click on it.

I assume it was just the cote d'azur you looking for?


Wow, thats good. clap

So, that line that goes from Nice to Digne - how the hell does it get up there?
