From Nice, take the train at the Chemins de fer de Provence station in the city center to Puget-Théniers !
Crossing the hill of the middle country of Nice and going up the Var river, our railcars will take you to Puget-Théniers station to connect with the steam train (Train des Pignes à vapeur) which will then take you to the villages of Entrevaux, Annot or Le Fugeret thanks to the valiant “Portuguese E211” locomotive.

A PASSION, VOLUNTEERS, The GECP
The GECP (Groupe d’Etude pour les Chemins de fer de Provence) has set itself the task of safeguarding the railway heritage, promoting the Chemins de fer de Provence line, operating the Train des Pignes à Vapeur and organising heritage activities, while continually carrying out extensive historical research.
With more than 300 members and 45 volunteers, this association works for the restoration of old railway heritage and the refurbishment of old locomotives (some of which are historical monuments) for the pleasure of all, and also offers “steam” training courses while being involved in the integration of young people, welcomed in the framework of apprenticeship work camps.
