When you take a trip with the Train des Pignes you not only can enjoy the characteristic smell of the mix of steam and smoke from the locomotive's chimney or admire the restored passenger carriages. When you enter the carriages you enjoy the view of their interior with their wooden benches.
These benches are not exactly first class airline seats, nor do they resemble those grafitti tarnished textile underground train seats. They are made from solid wood. And they give you a feeling of how it was to travel by train 100 years ago, when the alternative was walking long distances, ride on the back of a donkey or in a horse-drawn carriage on a bumpy road..
