The term Train des Pignes primarily signifies the four railways with metre gauge that once existed in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes , Var , Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Bouches-du-Rhône in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur région in southern France:
Only the one between Nice and Digne is still in operation. Therefore, today most people when they use the term, unaware of the history, refer to the Nice-Digne Line only.
Pignes is the southern French dialect word for pine cones.
The St. Raphaël - Toulon and Cogolin - St. Tropez lines were also sometimes called Le Macaron.
