The term Train des Pignes primarily signifies the four railways with metre gauge that once existed in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes (06), Var (83), Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04) and Bouches-du-Rhône (13) in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur (PACA) région in southern France: *Nice (06) - Meyrargues (13) *Nice (06) - Digne-les-Bains (04) *St.Raphaël (83) - Toulon (83) *Cogolin (83) - St.Tropez (83) Only the one between Nice and Digne is still in operation. Therefore, today most people when they use the term, unaware of the history, refer to the Nice-Dignes line only. The St. Raphaël - Toulon and Cogolin - St. Tropez lines were also sometimes called Le Macaron. ==History== Work to build these lines started in 1887 and the lines were opened in sections *Nice — Meyrargues () * *Draguignan - Meyrargues (22 March 1889) * *Grasse - Draguignan (25 October 1890) * *Colomars - Grasse (7 June 1892) * *Nice — Colomars (2 June 1892) *Nice — Digne () * *Nice — Colomars (2 June 1892) * *Colomars - Puget-Théniers (8 August 1892) * *Puget-Théniers - St. André-les-Alpes (3 July 1911) (from 1892 to 1911 passengers were transferred by stagecoach, a trip that took 6.5 hours) * *St.André-les-Alpes — Digne-les-Bains (15 May 1892) *St.Raphaël — Toulon () * *St.Raphaël — La Foux (19 September 1889) * *La Foux - Hyères (4 August 1890) * *Hyères — Toulon (21 August 1905) *Cogolin — St.Tropez () * *Cogolin — St.Tropez (1 July 1894) The Nice-Digne line is today operated daily by Chemins de Fer de Provence with railcars, four trains per day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Train des pignes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
