Train des Pignes - Recent video, slideshow



Sunday September 9, 2012, was a pleasant day, warm and with the usual Provençal sun shining along the Puget-Théniers to Annot line. The regular Train des Pignes à Vapeur was loading passengers at Puget-Théniers.

A big party of dancers and musicians from a village was also on the train. All were dressed in traditional costumes. They added a colorful and entertaining touch to the usual railway atmosphere. The musisicians played and the beautiful girls of all ages performed traditional dances on the platform at the stations. A real fiesta.

The following nice YouTube video shows the train travel from Puget-Théniers to Annot and back. It contains some interesting sights along the line.



The following slideshow shows complementary still photos on Train des Pignes by a different photographer, several photos taken on the same day.
