Alpes-Maritimes Train Ride

On this route on the Train of the Alps, we will depart from Nice and travel through the Var Valley.

Tour Description

At the appointed time, we will meet at the Gare des Chemins de Fer de Provence train station. Our first stop is Entrevaux, where you will explore the Royal Citadel, accessed by a 150-step staircase, and view the area from the medieval drawbridge. A visit to a baroque cathedral is also included.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we will continue to a medieval village known for its troglodyte features. Here, you will partake in a 5-kilometer (3.1 miles) walk through an ancient chestnut forest. This route requires decent physical fitness.

Depending on the group's pace, we will choose between a shorter 4-kilometer hike or a longer 8-kilometer circuit. This exploration will provide fresh Alpine air.

We will then take the Alpine Train back to Nice, concluding the excursion of approximately 13.5 hours.

Early Return

If preferred, after visiting the Entrevaux citadel and lunch, participants can return on their own to Nice, without the guide, with an expected arrival around 4 pm.
