In this episode, we depart from Nice, aboard the authentic Train des Pignes.

Montez à bord des mythiques lignes de chemin de fer qui parcourent le Pays basque jusqu'à la Catalogne, et franchissez la chaîne des Pyrénées d'est en ouest à bord de petits tortillards au charme désuet.

Discovering the legendary lines that skirt the Massif Central all the way to Mediterranean. Our journey begins in Auvergne, aboard the little Allier Gorges tourist train, which is where the oldest railway in central France was built.

A unique journey from the Alpes-Maritimes to Mont-Blanc, leaving Nice on the authentic `Pignes' train before wending the way through the mountains aboard the Gap-Grenoble regional train.

In the Jura, at an altitude of between 250 and 950 metres, the regional `Hirondelles' train seems to float between land and sky. Aboard the `Horlogers' train we traverse the Saugeais Republic, a principality self-proclaimed in 1937.
