We decided to go for a proper hike today, up in the Moyen Var valley. We decided upon a somewhat original mode of transport - the "Train des Pignes" (yes - more free sponshorship). The train des Pignes is kind of cool - it's a single-track railway all the way up to the Alps (Digne-les-Bains). I'd like to say this is why we took the train - but actually it's the only way to get to the Var valley villages now that we are once more deprived of personal motorised transport...
We ended up doing the walk in a little town called Puget-Theniers, from where we walked the Circuit Des Aubrics. It was a very nice walk, in nice sunshine, with great views. Quite different landscapes to what we're used to - more dry and arid. Not a very high walk (the highest point was 820 meters) but seemed somehow quite mountainous.
Afterwards we walked around Puget-Theniers, which is not the prettiest place on the Riviera (but has its charms), for a couple of hours waiting for the train (one thing has to be said against the Train des Pignes - the trains are not particularly frequent...).
