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.

Pignes is the southern French dialect word for pine cones.

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 ({{convert|210|km|mi}})
- Draguignan - Meyrargues (22 March 1889)
- Grasse - Draguignan (25 October 1890)
- Colomars - Grasse (7 June 1892)
- Nice — Colomars (2 June 1892)
Nice — Digne ({{convert|150|km|mi}})

- 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 ({{convert|103|km|mi}})
- St.Raphaël — La Foux (19 September 1889)

- Hyères — Toulon (21 August 1905)
Cogolin — St.Tropez ({{convert|9|km|mi}})
- 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.

A group of voluntary rail enthusiasts in an association called Groupe d'Etude pour les Chemins de fer de Provence (GECP) operate a steam train (sometimes also called Train des Pignes) between Puget-Théniers and Annot on the Nice — Digne line every weekend from May to October, occasionally with an extended overnight trip to Digne-les-Bains.^[3]
