Draguignan to Lorgues

Draguignan became the defacto headquarters of the Chemin de Fer du Sud. It was the most significant town on the route from Nice to Meyrargues.

In due course, I will publish a blog post on the locomotives and rolling stock on the line.

In November each year, my wife Jo and I visit Provence. We have been doing so regularly since 2001. We have travelled on the Nice to Digne line on a number of occasions and increasingly also become aware of the remnants of a number of different tramways. The three blog posts below were written at about the time when we were beginning to become aware of the extent of the network of these lines.

This post is the first in a series which focusses on the Coastal Line between Toulon and Saint-Raphael, another metre-gauge line. It was know locally as Le Macaron.

This is the next post in a series about the Chemins de Fer du Sud de la France's Coastal line between Toulon and Saint-Raphael. This post focusses on the PLM line which both competed for passenger traffic with Le Macaron between Toulon and Hyeres but also provided an essential link into the national network through the exchange sidings at Hyeres.

This post covers another competitor for passenger services from Hyeres to Toulon - the Toulon Tram System which also had a track-gauge of one metre:
