L^Association Du Train Touristique Du Centre Var
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![1966 built <I>Caravelle</I> two car set No 4567 is pictured at the northern Brignoles terminus of the ATTCV tourist railway in Provence, southern France. The working line is 22km in length and runs from Carnoules to Brignoles. The ATTCV does not use the SNCF station situated on the Marseille to Nice main line at Carnoules but operates from a simple platform 1km north of the village. Originally the line, mainly used for freight traffic, continued for a further 55km to Gardanne.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 23/09/2009]](/images/25000/25685.jpg "Brignoles")
![Currently stored out of service, at the Besse sur Issole depot of L'Association du Train Touristique de Centre Var (ATTCV), is <I>Picasso</I> No 3976, built in 1956. The strange appendage set into the roof is the single driving cab where the driver sits sideways facing a single set of controls. <I>Picasso?</I> Well just look at one of his paintings and then again at this wonderfully quirky piece of rolling stock.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 23/09/2009]](/images/25000/25726.jpg "Besse sur Issole")
![A very rural French railway scene. The only intermediate station on the ATTCV tourist line is at St Anastasie where two-car <I>Caravelle</I> unit 4567 is pictured during its 10 minute stop on the 1hour 20 minute outward journey from Carnoules to Brignoles. This scenic line operates on Sundays from April to October and benefits from an additional train on Wednesdays from June to September.<br>
