Cab Ride Nice - Marseille (Marseille–Ventimiglia railway, France, June 2025) driver's view 4K

In this video you can enjoy the cab ride - train driver's view from Nice - Marseille along the French riviera on the Marseille–Ventimiglia railway in 4K/60 frames per second.

Embark on a stunning coastal journey from Nice-Ville to Marseille-Saint‑Charles, traversing one of France's most scenic railway lines. This iconic route spans approximately 260 km, connecting the dazzling French Riviera to the southern Mediterranean port of Marseille.

You’ll begin at Nice-Ville station, an elegant 19th‑century terminus built in Louis XIII style, before the train glides westward along the coast through famous seaside towns like Cannes, Antibes, and Toulon. As the train hugs the crystal-blue shoreline, you're treated to breathtaking views of rocky outcrops, sandy beaches, and elegant villas perched above the waves.

This line, officially the Marseille–Ventimiglia railway, opened between 1858 and 1872 and was a major engineering challenge of its time. It includes dramatic coastal tunnels and viaducts and is mostly double‑tracked. The terrain’s steep gradients (up to 8 ‰) and tight curves limit maximum speeds, but the slower pace allows for uninterrupted scenic richness.

Filmed from the driver’s cab in crisp 4K, this video captures the ever-changing scenery of the Côte d’Azur—from seaside glamour to rugged cliffs and tranquil coves. Perfect for railway enthusiasts and travelers alike, this ride offers a front-row seat to one of Europe’s most enchanting coastal rail journeys.

???? Please note: due to a technical issue, the camera shut down just a few minutes before reaching Marseille-Saint‑Charles station. I sincerely apologize for this and for the sound quality in this video, and thank you for your understanding. The full route and scenery are otherwise beautifully captured throughout the journey.

Sit Back, Relax, and Enjoy watching this full-length scenic rail trip video in 4K quality.
