The Train des Merveilles reopened in December after a year of major works, reconnecting Nice-Ville station with the medieval town of Tende in the Alpes-Azur mountains. The two-hour journey covers 100 kilometers while climbing 1,000 meters, passing through the soaring peaks of Mercantour national park. Passengers board at Nice-Ville station, where the platforms serve travelers heading to Monaco, Italy, Antibes, and Cannes before departing inland toward alpine terrain. The route ranks among Europe's most spectacular train journeys.
