The main train station in Antibes, it's located about 15 minutes walking to old town, and about…read more7-10 minutes from Port Vauban. (There are also a few bus lines though it's more convenient to walk since most of the narrow streets are pedestrian only.) The station is pretty clean and decent sized for supporting only two rail tracks--one headed East and the other West--along the coast. Train arrival and departure information is posted on screens outside and inside the station. Ticket machines may take a little bit of time (maybe 5-10 minutes) to figure out a) if you haven't used them before, as there are two different types of machines, and b) especially if you don't read French or aren't familiar with any Romance languages, since the preliminary navigation screens are in French. So plan your time accordingly if this is your first time taking a train in the south of France. I'd recommend purchasing a ticket directly at the station since the one I bought online on their app couldn't actually be used. When I tried to scanning the ticket QR code (from my phone) on the digital scanner for entry to the platform, it wouldn't work. During normal business hours, there are a few spots inside to purchase convenience items, snacks and drinks. There is an inside waiting area with benches, and if you're waiting outside the platform is covered overhead. Bathrooms are available in the form of public toilets which are I believe €0.50 per use. Taxis are readily available outside the station in the mid-morning and early evening times when I arrived and departed Antibes.

Beware of pickpockets…read more This station is very close to Nice Airport and is the best option if you need to take a train westward towards Cannes and Grasse or eastbound to Monaco and the Italian border. You can take a tram from the airport and get off at the tram station (Grand Arenas) across the street. The ride is free between the airport and that station. To reach Saint-Augustin Station, you do need to take the stairs or the lift to reach the area to buy tickets and the train platform. There is a ticket counter and a few ticket machines outside. The machines are a bit awkward to use as you need to turn the controls when making a selection. There are English instructions, but it is a bit difficult to change the setting so I would buy the tickets from the ticket counter if it is open. While the location is convenient, it is a notorious pickpocket location. My mom nearly was pickpocketed in the lift by a bunch of young girls. The lift was too full, which they used as a distraction for their treachery. It was a good lesson learned to be more careful with valuables, but it did start the trip in France on a bad note. Lastly, be aware that trains may arrive in the opposite direction if there is a track issue. Was headed to Ventimiglia, but ending up taking the train on the westbound platform due to this. Did not know what was up until I saw a large amount of passengers walking to the other side of the tracks. Though this led to a chaotic rush with heavy luggage in tow as the train was about to arrive. This station is a convenient location to take a train after arriving from the airport, but you need to be on guard when walking in the area and at the platform when waiting for your train.

OK... I have to out myself here! We didn't actually ride the Train Vapeur de Pignes. In this…read morecase, we decided to exercise the cheaper (and more adventurous) tack of train-chasing the Train de Pignes. Starting with a bit of lolly-gagging around station in Puget-Théniers while paying customers boarded the train, then racing up the road toward Entrevaux and Annot in hopes of a few photo-ops of all the huffing and puffing! Amazing! These rails are actually a commuter line that runs from Nice up to the city of Digne-les-Bains, which by the way, would be worth the trip just to ride up this scenic route in the daily diesel powered rail-cars. But on Sundays in the summertime, they fire up this old steam locomotive (apparently built in the 20s in Cassel, Germany) and make the twenty-kilometer run from Puget-Théniers to Annot - Maybe not the best part of the run, but a very good part of the run. We had just done a steam train ride in Provence a few days before, so we didn't have the compunction to buy a ticket to ride on this one. But had we done so, we would have missed out on the chance to photograph the 'little-engine-that-does.' I'm sure it's a great view from the train, and I suspect we'll buy a ticket and ride it one day, but just seeing that living, breathing locomotive pull the train up this gorge is one of life's richest moments. Ride it. Chase it. Photograph it. But only on Sundays! Worth planning your holiday around this! And much safer than the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona!

I believe Lignes d'Azur is the only public transport in Nice offering both bus and tram services. My dad and I purchased a 7-day bus/tram pass after taking Tram 98 to our hotel on the Promenade. Although we didn't use the buses besides the airport, we really took advantage of the tram line going from one end to the other whenever we wanted to explore or get something to eat. Apart from the work commute hours, the trams are generally less crowded and always a better option than taking a taxi or an Uber in my opinion. 7 day passes get the job done on a weekly basis.
