By air Fly to Nice International Airport. From
there, take a bus to the train station. There is a fast shuttle bus
from the airport to the gare routière (bus terminus),
and from there one can get another bus to the station. Otherwise
there is a direct bus to the main station, and from there one has to
walk 5-10 minutes to the Gare de Provence.
By train to the main station, Nice Ville. From
there it is 5-10 minutes walk to the Gare de Provence.
From Nice Ville to Gare de Provence:
Turn left out of Nice Ville station, along Avenue Thiers to the main
street: Rue Massena. Turn left again (under the railway bridge) and
proceed up the main street till you come to a large square, Place
Charles de Gaulle (previously and more commonly known as Place
de la Liberation). The Gare de Provence is hidden behind
the large building on your left!
From the Gare de Provence take the
picturesque train, called the ``Train des Pignes'', which
goes from Nice through the mountains to Digne. You must alight
at Annot where you can be met at the station. Since
Annot is about 30mins drive from Peyresq, I need to know in
advance which train to meet.
From Nice there are only
4 trains a day to Annot:
