Average cost of trains along Cote d'Azur

I%26#39;m having trouble making sense of the prices for the trains between the villages along the coast - for example, between Nice and Antibes.





Europrail says it is $11 (not euro which would be about 15 euros) one way to Antibes which seems high. Then a few topics here say they bought tickets for just 5 euros recently. Can someone advise as to an average cost for train rides between the villages?





Much appreciated.

There isn%26#39;t realy an average fare -however a lot of sites mark up the fares with insurance or a higher re-seller ticket price





Nice to Antibes is about 4 euros single on TER trains and about 5E50 single on the TGV







Nice to cannes - 6euros single on local trains about 8E50 on the TGV





Nice to monaco - 3E30 single on local train





If you are travelling before the end of september there is an all day rover ticket called the carte isabelle which gives unlimited travel on local trains - frejus to vintimiglia to grasse to Tende for 12 euros per person

Thank you so much. This is very helpful to know. Sadly, I will be arriving in Nice on Sept 30 so I will not be able to take advantage of the day long train pass but the prices you have mentioned for the local trains are much more reasonable than the ones I had been finding.





Again, thank you for taking the time to respond.

Perhaps the confusion is in your assuming $11 equates to 15€.





At todays mid market rates of $1.42/1€, $11 equals 7.75€
