Cote d'Azur is one of the most beautiful resort places in France, and Nice, respectively, is its main city. Go to Nice to rest is not difficult, while even if you are afraid to fly by plane and do not know how to drive a car, you can go there from Moscow by train. Railway communication between Russia and the Cote d'Azur existed at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, but then the train departed from St. Petersburg. And in 2010 the message of Nice was also opened with Moscow.
From Moscow, from Belorussky railway station, the train leaves once a week. To get to the sultry Nice, it takes about 53 hours, that is, the train departs on Thursday, and arrives only on Saturday, while surpassing the distance of 3315 km. From Nice back to Moscow, the train leaves on Sunday, and arrives at its destination, respectively, on Tuesday.
Train consists of cars of different classes: 10 passenger cars - 6 wagons of the first class, 1 second-class car (cheapest tickets) and 3 high-class wagons, as well as two different dining cars . Luxury coupes resemble rooms in hotels of higher categories . And let them not so spacious, but equipped with everything you need - there is also a private bathroom with toilet and shower, and in the compartment - TV, DVD-player, sofa, which is decomposed into comf orbital one and a half bed, and a wardrobe .The cost of the luxury suite includes breakfast, and at the end of each luxury car there is a small bar where you can relax and enjoy a conversation .
Coupes in the first class cars are slightly different from the luxury coupe. Here in each of them - two shelves (two tiers), and in the second-class car - three shelves. Toilet and shower - one for the whole car, but in each compartment there is a small washbasin to wash your hands or wash yourself if necessary.
As in the airplanes, there are some restrictions on the transportation of baggage on the train "Moscow-Nice". Limit - 35 kg of luggage per adult passenger, 15 kg - for children under 12 years.
