This next post covers the TAM tramway from Cannes to Grasse. https://rogerfarnworth.wordpress.com/2017/11/29/tramway-between-grasse-and-cannes-chemin-de-fer-de-provence-22

I have recently completed a full survey of the line. Here is the second blog post in the series: https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-14 The Chemins de Fer du Sud de la France made connections with a number of tramways operated by TAM. The first of these was a tramway between Cagnes-sur-Mer and Vence. This next post covers that metre-gauge tramway. There were a significant number of electric tramways in the area around Nice which connected either to the Chemins de Fer du Sud or linked towns on the coast with those further inland. This tramway did both. It operated from around 1911 until around 1932. https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-17 One further step along the journey from Nice to Meyrargues. Staring in the town of Vence and travelling towards the perfume capital of Grasse. https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-18 The next step on the journey from La Manda/Nice to Meyrargues along the Central Var line takes us from the emblematic Pont du Loup to Grasse. https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-19 A number of different railways met at Grasse.Two TAM tramways, one from Cagnes-sur-Mer and one from Cannes approached the town from the south. A PLM branchline also linked Grasse to Cannes. There was a funicular railway linking the PLM (SNCF) railway station to the town centre, and there was the Chemins de Fer du Sud de la France Central Var line crossing the town on its way between Nice and Meyrargues. This next post covers the first part of the story of the TAM tramway between Cagnes-sur-Mer and Grasse: https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-20 The second half of my blog on the TAM tramway between Grasse and Cagnes-sur-Mer: https://rogerfarnwor...-de-provence-21

There was a very extensive network of secondary lines in France of which many were of metre-gauge. The line from Nice to Meyrargues was one of these. The route was over 200kilometres in length and left the Nice to Digne Line at La Manda near Colomars.

I am content to post to both if that is not seen as unreasonable.

I am new to posting on rmweb. I'd assumed that because the subject was a narrow-gauge line, this was a good place to post and that it might be of interest to people here. There are a number of threads which relate to narrow gauge railways on the continent in this narrow gauge section ... for instance: 'Zugastieta'- Southwold in Spain Tralee and Blennerville Railway, Co Kerry, Ireland Peat railway in Northern Germany

I have been posting in the Narrow Gauge part of the Forum about the Metre-Gauge railways of Provence. It might be that I have been posting in the wrong part of the site. I'd appreciate advice. I presumed that posting about the narrow gauge lines would naturally come under that area. Please have a look and see whether you agree that I should be posting in the French railways section rather than the narrow gauge section.

Yes Kevin. A combination of travel along the line and research on the internet. Roger
