crépuscule Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 This didn't get any response from the "Useful Links in France" thread so I am trying again in the regional thread:I am going to Nice on holiday soon. I have heard that it is possible to take the train along the coast stopping off at intermediate points by buying a ticket for the furthest point of the journey, e.g. I could buy a ticket for Menton and stop off at Villefranche then get on a later train for Menton. Is this correct and does it require a special ticket or will a standard ticket suffice? I'm also keen to take the Train des Pignes but don't fancy the full 6 hour plus trip to/from Digne-les-Bains. Does anyone have any views on whether Entrevaux or Puget-Théniers would be the better stopping-off point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crépuscule Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just back from Nice. We visited Menton by bus. Brilliant value at €1 each way and you can make one transfer (although we didn't). It was a long trip at 90 minutes but scenic. We also took the Train des Pignes. Even more scenic. We decided to go to Annot instead of Entrevaux or Puget-Théniers. Annot looks like a good place for hiking but we didn't have the correct gear this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
