Embracing a slower pace is easy on these coastal train routes snaking through lush jungle, past sloping vineyards and along windswept beaches and vertiginous clifftops.

A regular commuter service running multiple times a day, this double-decker hums out of Cannes, taking 90 minutes to run along the backs of terracotta-coloured villas and apartment blocks, allowing passengers a glimpse into the private affairs of the French Riviera’s residents.

In summer expect to see bronzed bodies dangling off pontoons, surfers paddling in the sea and bright pink bougainvillea tumbling down like waterfalls. Consider breaking up the journey at Antibes or Juan-les-Pins for a slice of pissaladière, a traditional flatbread from the South of France with onions, olives and anchovies, and a stroll along their quiet shores before hopping back on for the final stretch to the Italian market town of Ventimiglia.A one-way ticket costs €14.30 .

As the train inches uphill through jungle, bananas appear like fat green fingers, along with the smell of morning dew from leaves slapping at the open windows. At twists and turns, flashes of blue appear between the bamboo foliage until the train curls around a clifftop and the South China Sea appears in a glorious blaze, creamy sand and sunlit bays running the length of the ride to Da Nang.
