Overview

The Train will amaze you with its route, its breathtaking views on the ochre landscapes.

1st stop: enjoy a refreshing walk just along the sea level where the rocky landscapes with thousands shades of colour of stones, overlooking the blue transparent of the sea. Mysteriously uncontaminated by mass tourism, its sublime landscapes has kept its authenticity for hikes to discover its rare pearls & explore Golden Cliff Road "Corniche d'Or".
