Percent Map travel guild (2026-08-21): Ride the Rails Through French Riviera Splendor

The recently revitalized Train des Merveilles offers breathtaking views of coastal scenery and mountain landscapes in just two hours. Starting from Nice, you’ll see bustling streets transform into rolling hills before reaching the charming medieval town of Tende. As you ascend, enjoy cool alpine breezes compared to Nice’s August warmth; consider planning your trip for early morning or evening to avoid the summer heat (+23°C) and embrace milder temperatures in the mountains.
