I have updated the blog about the length of the Central Var Line between Pont de Loup and Grasse to include the full text of the blog rather than a downloadable file. if this has been a handicap to you accessing the text and pictures, please review the blog post:

The next post in the series about Le Macaron ......

This post focusses on a number of branch-lines which extended either side of the main-line from La Londe-les-Maures and provided access to mining concerns and to a torpedo factory.

The second of the two branch-lines leaving Le Macaron at La Foux travels inland a short distance to Cogolin. It was always intended that this branch should be extended beyond Cogolin but this extension was never built:
